Written after Gingrich's acension as Speaker of the House. 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. He changed long-term planning and strategy, and his constant drive to achieve his political and societal goals for America.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.
