Book Synopsis
When asked to describe what the book is about, I wanted to say 600 pp, going for the laugh. But there are laughs a'plenty in the book, so here is the serious answer. Ultimately, it is about ambition, hope, leadership, and resilience; of doing the right thing and remaining true to one's self, and of extraordinary achievement, both in the private sector and the Republican political arena.
The real life incredible stories in the book run the gamut from the stark poverty of the writer's first dozen years to his disciplined approach in turning his extreme shyness into an extroverted personality before your eyes. On the political front, view first hand as Ron takes 3 unwinnable gubernatorial races in 1980 including one with an unknown candidate facing the Bill Clinton reelection juggernaut in Arkansas, transforming each into a winning campaign within months.
The book is an honest portrayal of achievement against all odds and is highly recommended for both young adults and mature readers.
