Description First Edition. 387 pages, Black & White photographs, Near Fine in a Very Good, Price Clipped Jacket, Jacket in Mylar protector, O'Neill's extraordinary political career spanned 50 years, from the Massachusetts legislature to the U.S. congress, with a decade as Speaker of the House under presidents Carter and Reagan. O'Neill shares many interesting recollections and candid opinions of contemporary politicians, including his complex ties with the Kennedys. He remembers JFK as a "pasty-faced kid" whose father's political connections bought him a congressional seat--a seat later occupied by O'Neill. He shares his doubts on the Kennedy assassination and the Warren Commission's conclusions. His assessments of presidents Carter and Reagan are particularly blunt and vivid. Bound in red paper over boards with black cloth spine and gilt and red foil stamped spine and upper board. Jacket has a few shallow edge wrinkles. Clean and bright copy.
