From the moment he set foot on it, Karl Rove has rocked America's
political stage. He ran the national College Republicans at
twenty-two, and turned a Texas dominated by Democrats into a
bastion for Republicans. He launched George W. Bush to national
renown by unseating a popular Democratic governor, and then
orchestrated a GOP White House win at a time when voters had

In this frank memoir, Rove responds to critics, passionately articulates his political philosophy, and defends the choices he made on the campaign trail and in the White House.
