Summary: Same old political book
Comment: I bought this book at a garage sale and read the first few chapters and skimmed through the rest. This book is well written and has an interesting message, but it has all been done before. In modern days, it is hard to find a truly original political book. Despite the fact that Dick Cheney may possibly be the most boring man in America, his book does have some value, but I would only recommend it for true political history lovers, don't buy it on a whim like I did!

Summary: Controlling Caos
Comment: Want to know where the real seat of control lies in the US government? Then this book about some of the most powerful men in the history of the House of Representatives is an excellent (although short) resource. I now have a much better appreciation of the need to ensure control of that body is in the hands of truthful, focused and principled people.
The book needs a re-write, though. It stops (was published) before the full impact of Newt Gingrich's term could be evaluated.
Read this book and you'll have a new respect for the workings of the House of Representatives and, by extension, the federal government - something like controlling chaos!
Rating: 4
Summary: Great insight into role of the Speaker
Comment: I thouroughly enjoyed this book. It covered each topic just enough with a good balance of political, social, and personal aspects and how the three inter-related and affected the subjects. For someone just beginning to understand the history of the House, it is a great book to read.
