Tip O'Neill and the Democratic Century, by John Aloysius Farrell (read Dec 8 2001) I found this a stupendously good book, eminently readable. I just ate it up. It is favorable to its subject (Speaker of the House from 1977 to 1987), but is not hagiographical. It was so good I could read it while TV was on, since the subject matter was far more interesting than what was on TV. It is a journalist's biography, rather than an academic one, but it has footnotes and a good bibliography. This book was really fun to read. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"The towering figure of the postwar Democratic Party, Thomas "Tip" O'Neill was one of the last of the great political warhorses, a man who cared as much about his family and friends as he did about the issues, someone who knew how to have a good time and do a good deed. Now, based on previously untapped records, interviews, and private correspondence, prizewinning journalist John A. Farrell gives us the first full-scale biography of this legendary American: a garrulous legislative titan who fought with Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Newt Gingrich and prevailed because he never forgot where he came from." "In Tip O'Neill and the Democratic Century John Farrell has crafted an epic biography, not just of a person, but of politics. Full of larger-than-life personalities and historic moments, it is a grand waltz through the corridors and back rooms of American power. And like Tip himself, Farrell's dazzling book is majestic, powerful, important, and utterly winning."--Jacket. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
