Leon Panetta: “Worthy Fights: A Memoir Of Leadership In War And Peace” (Diane Rehm Show)

Leon Panetta has held high-level posts under three presidents: Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. He spent more than a dozen years in Congress, and served as defense secretary, CIA director and White House chief of staff. He has witnessed the inner workings of the U.S. government, as well as the wider world from a height few reach. In a new memoir, Panetta does not hold back in his critique of many familiar names who have been in the national spotlight. He criticizes Obama for what he considers to be leadership failures, and he addresses challenges the nation faces at home and abroad.
