Former Speaker of the House John Boehner shares colorful tales from the halls of power, the smoke-filled rooms around the halls of power, and his fabled tour bus.

John Boehner is the last of a breed. At a time when the arbiters of American culture were obsessing over organic kale, cold-pressed juice, and SoulCycle, the man who stood second in line to the presidency was unapologetically smoking Camels, quaffing a glass of red, and hitting the golf course whenever he could.

On the House A Washington Memoir by John Boehner

نویسنده: جان بینر (John Boehner)

* INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *

“A rollicking, foil-mouthed” [memoir]….Boehner has delivered a classic Washington “tell-all,” albeit one with his typical jocular style.” –The Washington Post

Former Speaker of the House John Boehner shares colorful tales from the halls of power, the smoke-filled rooms around the halls of power, and his fabled tour bus.

John Boehner is the last of a breed. At a time when the arbiters of American culture were obsessing over organic kale, cold-pressed juice, and SoulCycle, the man who stood second in line to the presidency was unapologetically smoking Camels, quaffing a glass of red, and hitting the golf course whenever he could.

There could hardly have been a more diametrically opposed figure to represent the opposition party in President Barack Obama’s Washington. But when Boehner announced his resignation, President Obama called to tell the outgoing Speaker that he’d miss him. “Mr. President,” Boehner replied, “yes you will.” He thought of himself as a “regular guy with a big job,” and he enjoyed it.

In addition to his own stories of life in the swamp city and of his comeback after getting knocked off the leadership ladder, Boehner offers his impressions of leaders he’s met and what made them successes or failures, from Ford and Reagan to Obama, Trump, and Biden. He shares his views on how the Republican Party has become unrecognizable today; the advice–some harsh, some fatherly–he dished out to members of his own party, the opposition, the media, and others; and his often acid-tongued comments about his former colleagues. And of course he talks about golfing with five presidents.

Through Speaker Boehner’s honest and self-aware reflections, you’ll be reminded of a time when the adults were firmly in charge.

Goodreads users review :

Uncommon leadership at a time and place where leadership has become uncommon John Boehner is one of those rare individuals who has committed his life to making America better; not for money or power but simply because he felt he owed it to the people who sent him to Washington. This book does a wonderful job of describing “Crazy Town” and it’s residents and what made them tick. It is slightly irreverent and belly laugh funny at times. Though Boehner held one of the most powerful posts in Wahington he clearly did not allow that power to go to his head nor did he take himself too seriously and always remained true to himself. We need more men like him in our government and should he decide to run for president he will surely have my vote! chief schussler                                                                                        rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

Best book I’ve read in years Boehner is serious, funny, thoughtful and at times irreverent. I couldn’t put the book down. It’s too bad we don’t see men and women with his character interested in politics. Now it’s all about how outrageous and controversial a position is to make it on cable TV. joice hupp                                                                                              rated it: 5.0 from 5.0
