Summary

"This book describes the inside story of the battle for Florida 2000; the aborted White House job switch that inadventently opened the door to the Iran-Contra scandal; the White House turmoil in the dark days following the Reagan assassination attempt; why Gerald Ford did not ask Ronald Reagan to be his running mate in 1976 - and why Reagan did not pick Ford in 1980; the Bush campaign's desire that Dan Quayle offer to resign from the ticket in 1992; and a great deal more." "White House Chief of Staff (twice), Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, and campaign chairman or leader for three different candidates in five successive presidential campaigns - few people have lived and breathed politics as deeply as James Baker, and now, with candor,Texas-style storytelling, and not a few surprises, he takes us into his thirty-five years behind the scenes."--BOOK JACKET.
