Tell Newt to Shut Up!: Prizewinning Washington Post Journalists Reveal How Reality Gagged the Gingrich Revolution Paperback - 1996

by David Maraniss; Michael Weisskopf (Joint Author)

Based on the 14-part Washington Post series that has already won two major journalism prizes, Tell Newt to Shut Up is an unprecedented, fly-on-the-wall look at the deals, the sell-outs, the crucial moments, and the fatal mistakes of Newt Gingrich's "Republican Revolution".


From the publisher

Speaker Newt Gingrich and his troops promised a revolution when they seized power in January 1995. The year that followed was one of the most fascinating and tumultuous in modern American history. After stunning early success with the Contract with America, the Republicans began to lose momentum; by year's end Gingrich was isolated and uncertain, and his closest allies were telling him to shut up.

Here is an unprecedented, fly-on-the-wall look at the successes, sellouts, and perhaps fatal mistakes of Newt Gingrich's Republican Revolution. Based on the award-winning Washington Post series that documented the Republicans' day-to-day attempts to revolutionize the American government, "Tell Newt to Shut Up!" gets to the heart of the political process.
