On the house : a Washington memoir / John Boehner, former Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Boehner, John, 1949- (author.).

Summary:

Former Speaker of the House John Boehner shares colorful tales from the halls of power. In addition to his own stories, he offers his impressions of leaders he's met and what made them successes or failures; his views on how the Republican Party has become unrecognizable today; advice 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.
