[JRB · Rating 3 out of 5]

Gillespie shares his story of climbing from a parking attendant to a top political aide to the President, so it's got to be somewhat interesting. And it is. He comes across as earnest even when you can tell he's not being one hundred percent forthright. There are no great revelations within and having not read it since shortly after its release, it is probably far less interesting in 2009.

Right up there with "Way to Win" and "Applebee's America." Some sage advice from someone whose experience is matched by very few.

Great book about the need to plan ahead and follow through on a goal before moving on to the next one. Good campaign anecdotes from one of the most efficient RNC Chairmen we've ever had.
