Known and Unknown: An Evening with Donald Rumsfeld

The 13th and 21st U.S. Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld recently completed writing his number one New York Times bestselling memoir, Known and Unknown. Published in February 2011, the book spans his career and includes extensive primary documentation, much of which has been made public on a supporting website, www.rumsfeld.com.  

He currently chairs a non-profit foundation with his wife, Joyce.  The Rumsfeld Foundation  supports leadership and public service at home and the growth of free political and free economic systems abroad. The Rumsfeld Foundation funds microfinance projects, fellowships for graduate students interested in public service, the development of linkages between young leaders from Central Asia and the Caucasus and the United States, and charitable causes that benefit the men and women of the U.S. armed forces and their families. His proceeds from the sales of Known and Unknown go to the military charities sponsored by the Rumsfeld Foundation.
