Kristin Carlucci Weed grew up in McLean, Virginia, as the daughter of former Secretary of Defense Frank C. Carlucci. Carlucci Weed attended Duke University and Johns Hopkins University, focusing on international affairs and public policy. After working in policy research in the U.S. and in Europe, she returned to the leafy suburbs of Washington, DC, where she settled with her US Air Force husband in 2020. When she is not driving one of her three children to their activities, she can be found on the tennis court or planning her next globetrotting adventure. Get Me Carlucci is her first book. Frank C. Carlucci III was an American politician and diplomat. A graduate of the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, Carlucci served as Ambassador to Portugal in the tumultuous 1970s and held roles in a number of public offices, including at the Office of Economic Opportunity and the Central Intelligence Agency. As President Ronald Reagan's Secretary of Defense from 1987 to 1989, Carlucci helped define America's Cold War policy. In private enterprise, he was Chairman of The Carlyle Group from 1992 to 2003. Before his death in 2018, Carlucci completed a draft of his memoir, which serves as the basis for Get Me Carlucci.
"""In this book, Kristin Carlucci Weed, Frank Carlucci's daughter, describes his actions in these and other momentous roles with clarity and honesty, illuminating the extraordinary leadership skills relied upon by multiple presidents of both political parties. A diminutive man with a deceptively easy-going manner and friendly smile, Carlucci possessed an iron will and extraordinary physical and political courage. Get Me Carlucci wonderfully portrays one of the most extraordinary men ever to serve the American people."" --Robert M. Gates, former Secretary of Defense, former Director of Central Intelligence ""The author, Carlucci's daughter, weaves together her own account of her father's remarkable life with a brief memoir he wrote; the result is an intellectual lively and emotionally poignant work ... an engrossing remembrance that captures a brilliant career and the turbulent times within which it flourished."" --Kirkus Reviews ""Anyone interested or involved in government service should read and absorb the great lessons from the great man in this book."" --Admiral Bill Owens ""Drawing upon extensive research into his personal files and writings, Get Me Carlucci delivers a portrait of a man who devoted himself to doing what was right for America."" --Stephen J. Hadley, former National Security Adviser ""This book is an overdue account of his extraordinary career, his contributions to sound public policy, and the many people he touched...A memorable book about a remarkable man."" --Michael Rich, President Emeritus, RAND Corporation ""The author, Carlucci's daughter, weaves together her own account of her father's remarkable life with a brief memoir he wrote; the result is an intellectual lively and emotionally poignant work ... an engrossing remembrance that captures a brilliant career and the turbulent times within which it flourished."" --Kirkus Reviews -- ""Kirkus Reviews"" ""Anyone interested or involved in government service should read and absorb the great lessons from the great man in this book."" --Admiral Bill Owens--Admiral Bill Owens ""Drawing upon extensive research into his personal files and writings, Get Me Carlucci delivers a portrait of a man who devoted himself to doing what was right for America."" --Stephen J.
