From Bob Beckel, the popular co-host of The Five on Fox News Channel, a deeply moving, redemptive memoir about his life as a political operative and diplomat, his long struggle with alcohol and drugs, and his unlikely journey to finding faith.
Growing up poor in an abusive home, Bob Beckel learned to be a survivor: To avoid conflict, mask his feelings, and to lie - all skills that served him well in Washington, where he would become the youngest-ever Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and manage Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign.
But Beckel was living a double life. On January 20, 2001 - George W. Bush's first Inauguration Day - he hit rock bottom, waking up in the psych ward. Written with captivating honesty, Beckel chronicles how his addictions nearly killed him until he found help in an unexpected ally, conservative Cal Thomas, who helped him find faith, get sober, and get his life back on track.

I just don't know what to believe. I *want* to believe this book is an honest autobiography, but I just can't get past that nagging feeling that much of it is bullshit. I sincerely hope it is not.
In any case, I sincerely wish him a continued successful recovery from addiction.
I'm conflicted

While I don't agree with his politics, I empathize with his journey and I commend him for his raw honesty in telling his life story up to this point.
Anyone who either is an addict or knows one should read this book. It puts it all into perspective.
I admire you, Bob Beckel.
A MUST read!

A very inspiring story

I picked this audio book for his story on alcoholism. I have family members and close acquaintances that struggle with addictions and I'm trying to hear as many stories concerning that struggle. The narration by his brother Graham Beckel was excellent.
A Conservative/Libertarian in personal philosophy I truly found his biography very interesting BUT it was his story about his addiction and his daily commitment to his recovery that has made me an advocate in recommending this truly inspiring biography. Kudos to Bob Beckel - thank you!
Brought me to tears
