Background of his life, personal and political motivations

Written after Gingrich's acension as Speaker of the House, this book provided many things, both trivial and significant, that I wanted to know about Newt Gingrich. Where he came from, how we grew up, personal life & influences, and how his political philosophy was formulated and developed over the course of his career. He changed the strategy of the Republican House minority and charted it's course to become the majority party long before it occurred after the elections of 1994. For that he deserves credit for long-term planning and strategy, and his constant drive to achieve his political and societal goals for America--whether love him or hate him--he must be given the serious credit for start, development, and eventual shift. Gingrich was the ultimate Machiavelian politician. The ends justified the means. He threw bombs, toppled Jim Wright and uncovered some of the pompous transgressions of House members. Newt didn't live in a glass however. GOPAC was another siginificant achievement of his. I highly recommend this book. I am aware that there are several Gingrich books available now that are more updated.
