Overview
The nation's most prominent Republican and author of the bestseller, To Renew America, shares the principles that have governed his life—both personal and political—and the lessons he has learned along the way. Includes a candid appraisal of some of the most challenging moments in the Speaker's career. Says Gingrich: "To be useful, this kind of report must be candid. And, indeed, in it I recount some of the most challenging, even painful, moments of my career, including the controversial effort that led to the resignation of Speaker Jim Wright, my difficult encounter with the House Ethics Committee, public blunders such as my comments about Air Force One, and my personal reaction to the so-called coup efforts within the House Republican majority." As leader of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, he speaks of the media scrutiny, the run-ins with the Clintons, events of his private life that have shaped his political ideas, and more. Some of the chapters include "Learn to Listen," "Pick Your Fights Wisely," "Don't Underestimate the Liberals," "Learn to Communicate," and "Goals for a Generation." B&W photosBook Details
