It’s going to be difficult to wait (there is no pub date yet for the currently untitled work)…but wait we will. Donald Rumsfeld is working on his autobiography which according to this article from Publishers Weekly has been picked up by Sentinel Publishing, the adult division of Penguin Group. According to Penguin, Rumsfeld is going to donate all proceeds from the book to his recently founded nonprofit, The Rumsfeld Foundation (which was established to fund microfinance projects). Rumsfeld, in the giving spirit, is also ditching the advance. Adrian Zackheim, publisher of Sentinel and Portfolio, said that the book will include “previously untold stories and events” from Rumsfeld’s Depression-era youth, his time in Congress and his stints with the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations, as well as his career in the private sector.
Another former member of the President’s cabinet, Alberto Gonzales is having much more difficulty putting his time to good use. Maybe he’ll be the next to publish a book.
