Sinopsis
The nation's most prominent Republican shares the principles that have governed his life -- both personal and political -- and the lessons he has learned along the way.Dear Friend,In the summer of 1995, I worked closely with many of you in the publication of To Renew America. Beyond the gratifying success we achieved with a number one bestseller, I recall warmly the help and the friendly support I received from everyone at HarperCollins and the enthusiasm of booksellers across America.Now I'm delighted to let you know that I am currently immersed in writing a new book. I see this new book as my personal report to millions of Americans who helped us survive the last few years. The book will include a candid appraisal of some of the most challenging moments of my career, including the circumstances that led to the resignation of Speaker Jim Wright, my own encounter with the House Ethics Committee, the truth behind my comments about Air Force One, and my personal reaction to the so-called coup efforts in the House Republican majority.Sincerely,Newt

Review
Part memoir, part manifesto, Lessons Learned the Hard Way by House Speaker Newt Gingrich discusses the triumphs and failures of the Republican Congress. Gingrich is surprisingly frank in admitting the mistakes he has made over the last four years, including his regret over foot-in-mouth remarks about President Clinton snubbing him on Air Force One. He also provides detailed accounts of the government shutdown, budgetary battles, and the ethical charges made against him. Most insightful political comment: "We were to learn the hard way that there was a difference between having a Republican majority and having a conservative majority." Most unexpected book recommendation: "On my bookshelf is a copy of Franz de Wahl's Chimpanzee Politics, which is a wonderful study of the social and political interactions of the chimpanzee colony at the Arnhem Zoo." Unfortunately, Gingrich doesn't draw a connection between Chimpanzee Politics and Washington politics. Still, this book is highly recommended for political junkies who want to hear Gingrich's account of the last several years unfiltered through the media. --John J. Miller
