I picked this book because of my interest (to say the least) in politics and political tactics. This truly reads as a 'how to' book with great insight to the thinking of one of the most successful Senate Majority Leaders. At times I could recognize the self-aggrandizement typical of politicians, but I still finished appreciating his work much more than expected. If you are interested in politics, especially conservative politics, you will find the book fascinating. I couldn't put it down!
