Bradley Graham: Donald Rumsfeld is THE WARRIOR (Public Affairs)

Publishers Marketplace reports:

Washington Post writer and long-time Pentagon correspondent Bradley Graham’s THE WARRIOR: Donald Rumsfeld’s Long March, the story of what shaped Rumsfeld’s pugnacious character and drive for change, from his wrestling days in high school through his stints as a Chicago congressman, senior insider in the Nixon and Ford administrations and corporate CEO, to Peter Osnos and David Patterson at Public Affairs, for publication in fall 2009, by Esther Newberg at ICM (world).

Trying to pre-empt the field for the big Rumsfeld book? A lot can and will happen between now and Fall 2009.

It is clear that Rumsfeld is going to be the subject of many biographies as a pivotal player in the history of the Global War on Terror/Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism. What is less clear is how he will fit in … will he be the Henry Stimson, the George Marshall, the George Patton of the history of GWOT?
