Dick Cheney's new memoir, In My Time, is not a politician's catalog of triumphs. True, Cheney searches in vain for a single regret during his eight years as Vice President. But he is no stranger to defeat. His book is suffused with awareness that he lost his President's confidence, and the public's, long ago. The narrative is revisionist at heart, aspiring to win back a political class that turned against Cheney—on Iraq, on the "dark side" of the war on terrorism, on executive supremacy and on a "no talk" strategy of regime change in North Korea and Iran. Yet Cheney is reluctant to open the books on what he knows.
