Whew! I had to listen to the book to get through the specifics of the political situations. Well written but it can get a bit drudgery. I enjoyed this book immensely actually but it won't get a second read anytime soon (maybe a second listen to someday). His voice was good to listen to. This review is attached to the Kindle format because I went back and forth between reading and listening. Sometimes, since the iPad Kindle app does this, I read along as it is being read to me. That can help, too, if I am tired but not tired enough to go to sleep. There were a few snippets about private life but mainly it was about specific work situations and how he processed them. He was honest about mistakes and even direct about views of people and moments that were not perfect. I am looking forward to volume 2.
