The Robert M. Gates papers primarily cover his professional life, from his work with the Central Intelligence Agency, to his presidency at Texas A&M University, to his retirement as Secretary of Defense. Also accounted for in this collection are papers associated with his three books: From the Shadows, Duty, and A Passion for Leadership, in addition to items from his high school and higher education years. Please note that there is cross-over among several of the series. For example, there is a series for Texas A&M University, but there are also references to it in the Correspondence series and elsewhere. There is also Department of Defense correspondence in files associated with Gates' book, Duty. Please be aware that researching multiple series might be necessary for a specific topic and/or time period.
