In what is sure to be one of the most talked about political memoirs of the year, Mary Cheney, who served as a top campaign aide to her father, US Vice President Dick Cheney, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the high intensity world of American presidential politicking and presents her account of what it was like to become an issue in the 2004 campaign. Cheney first campaigned with her father when she was eight years old. In the last two presidential campaigns, she was in the middle of every major event at the highest level - at the conventions, the debates, the controversies and on the trail. Both elections made history - and so did Mary. Now for the first time she writes about what it was like to be involved in her father's campaigns as a family memeber, a staffer and, although she never intended it, as a political target for the other side. Frank, funny, down-to-earth, Mary Cheney tells her own story amazing story in her own words. - from Amzon
