NEW YORK (AP) - Former Vice President Dick Cheney has signed a book deal with a conservative imprint of Simon & Schuster and said he hopes readers of all ideologies will be interested in his story.
The memoir by Cheney, widely considered the most powerful vice president in history, is expected to be published in Spring 2011, a few months after President George W. Bush's book comes out. Cheney's work is currently untitled and will cover his long career in government, from chief of staff under President Ford to vice president under Bush, from Vietnam and Watergate to the first Gulf War and the Sept. 11 attacks.
In a telephone interview Tuesday with The Associated Press, the 68-year-old Cheney noted that he had never written a book about his years in government, which dates back to the 1960s.
"I'm persuaded there are a lot of interesting stories that ought to be told," Cheney said. "I want my grandkids, 20 or 30 years from now, to be able to read it and understand what I did, and why I did it."

I’d pre-order it today if I could.
And I hope it covers all of his experiences.
too early to reserve a copy on Amazon??!!
I wonder if anyone will ever write a book and tell the whole story? Not the ‘cleaned up’, ‘sanitized’, ‘can’t expose some of these people to criticism’ type books we usually get, but a real one.
Does the Obama administration get to edit this book?
Huh?
That is the one book signing I’d be willing to stand in a long line for..and to shake his hand and thank him.
Instant #1, which will piss off libs like there’s no tomorrow. Can’t wait!
