review 1: Having really enjoyed Rumsfeld's Known and Unknown: A Memoir, I wanted to see how aptly he described each of his (and others' he incorporated) rules into daily life. He applies rules in carrying out responsibilities in different positions throughout his career, from aviation pilot to U.S. Congressman, to business leadership positions, and Secretary of Defense under two administrations. This small book would be a valuable addition to the working library of those starting careers in order to help prevent making some of the serious mistakes that so many of us have experienced.
review 2: I enjoyed this.Lots of ideas and advice which really work in business and office life. It is also quite amusing and has interesting bits of history and insight to how government wo... morerks, or doesn’t. He is a bit up himself, but had a remarkable career in government and large drugs companies.Rumsfeld is the man who, during a press briefing in 2002 about the absence of evidence linking the government of Iraq with the supply of weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups, famously said......“There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.” less
