From the Paper:

"There were also a number of lesser characters but for the most part the main 'players' of the book are those stated above. Throughout the book, the characters are 'fleshed out' and their individual traits become quite familiar to the reader. For example we find that one of the reasons that Powell is chosen as the Secretary of State is because, "he was an available vehicle to move Bush toward the center, and he became the almost certain choice for secretary of state" (pg 12). As the book progresses we learn more concerning all the characters including Colin Powell. It was interesting to read how Powell often brought out a more diplomatic viewpoint than those offered by Donald Rumsfeld. "
