O'Neill, recently retired Speaker of the House, learned politics growing up in Irish-Catholic Boston, and these roots pervade his 50-year political career. He relates his experiences by stringing together apocryphal stories and true incidentsembellished, no doubt, by collaborator Novak. Of particular interest are his assessments of presidents from FDR on. O'Neill is not reticent about criticizing Democratic leaders as well as Republicans. Though short on political analysis, these entertaining recollections highlight a dedicated politician whose contributions go far beyond local politics.'--Jack Forman, Library Journal.
