Dick Cheney’s life and career became synonymous with the imperatives of power, the erosion of civil liberties, and the exercise of executive authority in the post-9/11 world. His death at the age of 84, marked by complications from pneumonia and heart disease, was a final chapter in the life of a man who had been at the epicentre of American politics for nearly half a century.
To his family, he was a beloved patriarch, whose legacy was defined by his deep sense of duty and devotion to the country. But to many others, Cheney was the embodiment of American foreign policy overreach, the man who helped architect the Iraq War—a conflict whose flawed rationale and catastrophic consequences would ultimately come to define his public life.
