Editorial Review:
The candid memoir of one of the most effective, controversial figures in modern politics Very few people are on the fence about Tom DeLay, who was nicknamed "the Hammer" for his hard-charging, take-no-prisoners style of leadership. Liberals despise him, but for conservatives he's a hero—one of the architects of the 1994 Republican revolution. For twelve years afterward, he was the driving force of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives. In this eagerly awaited memoir, DeLay will share fascinating stories from his entire career, starting with his early, raucous days in Texas; his personal conversion to Christ and how that changed his personal and political life; his work with other rebels to sow the seeds of the shocking 1994 takeover; and his ascension to the top leadership in the House. He offers a behind-the-scenes view of the most talked-about stories of the past decade, involving George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, and many others. DeLay will also discuss his victories against the odds with the slimmest of margins; his passionate dedication to abused and neglected children; and his battle to fend off a ten-year barrage of malicious and frivolous allegations of wrongdoing, which ultimately led to his decision to resign from Congress. Perhaps most importantly, DeLay will unveil a blueprint agenda for the country's next group of elected leaders, and show conservatives how to make it a reality.

Rating:  - I Retreat, I Surrender
Pitiful excuse for a human being. Remember "Crybaby Newt"? This guy makes him look like John Wayne. DeLay always was fond of saying he "walks with God", but that's only because no one else would dare be seen with the creep. The only thing I'll miss about him being out of politics is the shame and corruption he brought to the Conservative Party.
Don't look for a sequel to this piece of garbage anytime soon. DeLay will likely be too busy dodging his future fellow inmates who want to do ... Read More
Rating:  - Slogan Slinging Slop
I picked this book up on a whim at my local library. I had read a couple of politically oriented books at that time, one from a moderate republican's perspective and another from a more liberal perspective, so I thought it would be interesting to get insight into the thinking of the modern conservative.
I'm sure there are good intellectual arguments for the core principles of the modern conservative movement (on a surface level I tend to agree with a good number of them), but don't look ... Read More
Rating: - Zero Stars is more likely!
What a piece of worthless flotsum. Those that would part with the money to read this are probably of the mindset to enjoy it but for the rest it is simplistic, mind-numbing gibberish written by a man adept in pandering to the defective. I picked it up at a local library, curious if he had any insights- he doesn't!
Rating: - Delay retreated AND surrendered
This book from the guy who RESIGNED his office in disgrace, handed his leadership post to the democrats, and ran away from Texas.
Rating:  - No Retreat, No Surrender
Tom Delay truly explains how washington works--for better and, unfortunately, for the worst. It's really a shame that going to D.C. seems to ruin even the best people.
