A bidder and two guests will have a private lunch discussion with Donald Rumsefeld in Washington DC and will receive signed copies of his two books, Rumsfeld's Rules and his memoir, Known and Unknown.

A graduate of Princeton University and former naval aviator, Donald Rumsfeld served as a Member of Congress, U.S. Ambassador to NATO, White House Chief of Staff under President Ford, Presidential Envoy to the Middle East for President Reagan, and CEO of two Fortune 500 companies and Chairman of a third. Rumsfeld completed his second tour as Secretary of Defense in December 2006. During his tenure, he led the U.S. Department of Defense after the attack on 9/11 and in overseeing the reform and transformation of America's military to meet the new challenges of the 21st Century.

He currently chairs the nonprofit Rumsfeld Foundation with, Joyce, his wife of more than 60 years. The Foundation was established in 2007 to support leadership and public service at home and the growth of freer political and economic systems abroad. Rumsfeld published his number one New York Times bestselling memoir, Known and Unknown in 2011. The book spans his career and is complemented by extensive primary source documentation that can be found on his website, Rumsfeld.com. His second book, Rumsfeld's Rules, was published in May 2013, and was also featured on the New York Times Best Seller list.

Recently, Rumsfeld ventured into the tech world with the launch of his Churchill Solitaire "app." Winston Churchill taught the game to a Belgian during World War II, who taught it to Rumsfeld while he was serving as the U.S. ambassador to NATO in 1973. Today, Churchill Solitaire is available to download in Apple's App Store worldwide.

All of Rumsfeld's profits from his memoir, Known and Unknown, and from his Churchill Solitaire app are donated to the military charities supported by the Rumsfeld Foundation.
