520    "A sweeping history of the intertwined careers of Dick 
       Cheney and Colin Powell, whose rivalry and conflicting 
       views of U.S. national security color our political debate
       to this day. Dick Cheney and Colin Powell emerged on the 
       national scene more than thirty years ago, and it is easy 
       to forget that they were once allies. It was Cheney who 
       pressed for Powell's appointment as chairman of the Joint 
       Chiefs of Staff, over the initial skepticism of the White 
       House. And the two men collaborated closely in the 
       successful American wars in Panama and Iraq during the 
       George H. W. Bush administration, riding together in 
       joyous victory parades. But from that pinnacle, conflicts 
       of ideology and sensibility drove Cheney and Powell apart.
       Under George W. Bush, they fell into ever-deepening 
       conflict. Cheney personified the idea that America should 
       use its unrivaled power to reorder the world, using 
       military force and ignoring objections from its 
       longstanding allies. Powell believed that the United 
       States should operate through diplomacy as much as 
       possible, relying on the alliances it had forged. In this 
       wide-ranging and deeply researched reassessment of these 
       two major figures, James Mann explores each man's 
       biography and philosophical predispositions to show how 
       and why this deep and permanent rupture occurred. Through 
       dozens of original interviews and surprising revelations 
       from presidential archives, he brings to life the very 
       human story of how this influential friendship turned so 
       sour and how their enmity colored the way America acts in 
       the world."--|cProvided by publisher.
