Critical receptions and reviews

Lloyd Green of The Guardian wrote "The ex-defense secretary’s memoir is scary and sobering – but don’t expect Republican leaders or voters to heed his warning"[6] and John Bolton of The Wall Street Journal wrote "I still believe this. “A Sacred Oath” is not a gratuitous tell-all. It is a work of history.".[7]

The book was listed in The New York Times Best Seller list.[10]
