Bare Knuckles and Back Rooms: My Life in American Politics
A consummate political operative, Ed Rollins has ridden high and ridden low. The political director ofRonald Reagan's White House in 1981, he enjoyed overwhelming success. But the weirdness of theRoss Perotcampaign sent him reeling, and his stint runningChristine Todd Whitman'sgubernatorial campaign resulted in a grand jury investigation. Through it all, Rollins picked up a wealth of juicy and humorous material, which he is willing to share--holding nothing back. He calls Perot a "paranoid lunatic on an ego trip" and Arianna Huffington "ruthless and unscrupulous." An enjoyable and educational book from an outspoken insider who reveals the viciousness of modern politics.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
