Chicago group to host Dick Cheney for book chat

The Union League Club of Chicago’s author’s group is hosting the event Monday in downtown. It includes questions from the audience.

The book is called “In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir” and was a collaboration with his daughter, Liz Cheney.

The autobiography has revived debate over the rationale to attack Iraq in 2003 and the cost in American lives and dollars.

Cheney has said that the book would create waves in Washington. It defends the war and offers a harsh criticism of two secretaries of state, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, and one defense secretary, Robert Gates.
