Rumsfeld Reflects on His Reflections
Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld talks to the AP about his forthcoming memoir.

"When Rumsfeld began thinking about his book, Known and Unknown, he imagined a more typical Washington release: a quick, impressionistic story based on whatever he recalled. Instead, he and a team of six aides worked four years on what became a 700-page narrative, with an additional 100-plus pages of end notes. Dozens of books were consulted and thousands of documents reviewed, from White House memos to letters Rumsfeld's parents wrote to each other during World War II. Rumsfeld's sister Joan and former Secretary of State George Shultz were among the friends, family members and colleagues who came to Washington for conversations."
