I have just finished watching the film "The Unknown Known" by Errol Morris, which is a long interview with Donald
Rumsfeld, the former Secretary of Defence during the Iraq war, and cannot stop thinking about
Rumsfeld's role in the use of torture, for which he was widely condemned.
In his remarkable new film, The Unknown Known, the American director, Errol Morris, paints a portrait of Donald
Rumsfeld which confirms what many perhaps always suspected: That the former US Secretary of Defense inhabits a world of his own, or one shared only by the likes of ex-US President George W.
There are few recent public figures that are as polarizing as Donald
Rumsfeld. Many people blame him for the torture of prisoners by the United States, (3) or for the poor handling of the Iraq war, (4) while others credit him for changing the U.S.

Rumsfeld left the Bush Administration in 2006 and practically disappeared from sight until the publication of this memoir, a substantial and clearly written work that in all likelihood will be viewed, above all else, as an apologia.
