In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir is a memoir written by former Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney with Liz Cheney. The book was released on August 30, 2011, and outlines Cheney's accounts of 9/11, the War on Terrorism, the 2001 War in Afghanistan, the run-up to the 2003 Iraq war, enhanced interrogation techniques and other events.[1] According to Barton Gellman, the author of Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency, Cheney's book differs from publicly available records on details surrounding the NSA surveillance program.[2][3] Cheney discusses his both good and bad interactions with his peers during the Presidency of George W. Bush.
Upon the book's release, several people quoted in it such as Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice as well as U.S. Senator John McCain stated that Cheney did not accurately recount their private conversations and meetings.[4]
