Summary: Excellent Political History
Comment: If you love political history or if you want to see the inner workings of the US government, this book is for you.
I read this book in two nights. I love material that was covered: Ed Rollins early years, his years on Reagan's staff, his time with Kemp, his campaign with Perot (I never realized Perot was that kooky of a man, the Christine Todd-Whitman camapaign.
The book is excellent. Rollins holds nothing back. This is one of the top 10 books I have ever read. I was glued.
This book is more of a history, than a how too. But even if you are looking for a how too, you will still love this book.
This book is worth more than 19 bucks.

Summary: Great Political Book!
Comment: A terrific companion to this is Jack Germond's chronicle of the classic 1980 presidential campaign (Teddy Kennedy vs. Carter vs. Reagan), "Blue Smoke and Mirrors."

Too bad this book's 96 release was too soon to receive much boost from the internet. Would have liked to read of author Rollin's take on the Monica/Clinton sex scandal. Rollins is observant enough to mention qualities of public figures that are seldom mentioned (such as Barbara Bush's mean-spiritedness).

I found it interesting that despite his immense talent for political strategy, and the wealth and power this talent gave him, Rollins had a failed marriage to a single mother with 2 kids. Professional success did not lead to personal success until later in life for him. I hope Mr. Rollins will pop up on political shows more often.

Summary: Best Campaigns Book Ever Written
Comment: This should be required reading for college level campaigns classes. Rollins details the behind the scenes goings ons of all the major campaigns he has worked on--no holds barred, and no secrets left to tell. I read the entire thing in one weekend, it was a thrilling page turner for any political nuts out there.
