This is a great book ten of ten. I greatly admire Tip O'Neill. He was an honest, fair truthful Christian gentleman. And this was true with his fellow Irish friend-foe Ronald Reagan. Tip was ever patient. He knew that political timing was everything. I was never impressed with Reagan- nomics. I admire Tip for his love and steadfast care for the poor and middle class. A gentleman like both tip and Ron are needed today. A man of their word. Politics only works if both parties are bi-partisan. Many insights are given into both of these men's thoughts and personality. This book is well worth reading.
