One of the most well-written, intelligent autobiographies I've ever read. On the one hand the man was surprisingly candid. On the other, perhaps without realizing it, I agree with others - he often takes credit for the good things and places blame on others for the bad ones.
There are certain things to admire about this man. His intellect, his talent and his desire to achieve good ends for his country. But his character flaws, which include paranoia, an insatiable ambition, tremendous hubris and a "no blow is too low" when it comes to winning, removed any real chance of his achieving greatness as a leader. That and his idea that the ends always justify ANY means.
Regardless, this very long book is well worth the effort for those who wish to know more about the man from his own perspective.
