Reviews
"Brims with brio. . . . [A] remarkable life story, irresistibly told. . . . The congressman's character portraits, of the famous and not-so-famous, are sympathetically drawn and in many cases wonderfully constructed. . . . Oh, the stories . . . there are plenty from which to choose. . . . As a politician/raconteur with a hell of a tale to tell, he sure has my vote." -Eric Alterman,The New York Times Book Review "Charlie's memoir recounts his extraordinary life as only he could, with sparkling wit, outspoken candor, and remarkable insight. . . . While his heart and his voice are from Harlem, his story will inspire all Americans who believe hard work and conviction make dreams come true." -PresidentBill Clinton "[Charlie Rangel] possesses many qualities that have made him the able legislator and national leader he is today, but the most important of these are the qualities most in evidence in this fine memoir-his compassion, confidence and patriotism, the qualities of a first-rate American." -SenatorJohn McCain, "Charlie Rangel and I are in different political parties and, as he would be the first to attest, probably disagree more often than we agree. Far more important to me than the differences in our politics, however, is my respect for Charlie as a man. His life story so compellingly told in this book--fatherless high school drop-out, war hero, lawyer and Member of Congress--will impress every reader as it has impressed me. The author possesses many qualities that have made him the able legislator and national leader he is today, but the most important of these are the qualities most in evidence in this fine memoir--his compassion, confidence and patriotism, the qualities of a first rate American."-- Senator John McCain, "Brims with brio. . . .

He is a unique public servant whose leadership was critical to many of my Administration's successes: creating empowerment zones, doubling the Earned Income Tax Credit for working families, and moving the budget from big deficits to large surpluses. While his heart and his voice are from Harlem, his story will inspire all Americans who believe hard work and conviction make dreams come true."-- President Bill Clinton, "Brims with brio. . . .

Synopsis
Seventeen-term veteran Congressman Rangel--high school dropout, war hero, and one of the most influential men in Congress--presents a candid memoir of his journey from the streets of Harlem., In this inspiring and often humorous memoir, the outspoken Democratic congressman from Harlem--now the chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee--tells about his early years on Lenox Avenue, being awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart for wounds sustained in a horrific Korean War battle (the last bad day of his life, he says), and his many years in Congress. A charming, natural storyteller, Rangel recalls growing up in Harlem, where from the age of nine he always had at least one job, including selling the legendary Adam Clayton Powell's newspaper; his group of streetwise sophisticates who called themselves Les Garcons; and his time in law school--a decision made as much to win his grandfather's approval as to establish a career. He recounts as well his life in New York politics during the 1960s and the grueling civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery. With New York street smarts, Rangel is a tough liberal and an independent thinker, but also a collegial legislator respected by Democrats and Republicans alike who knows and honors the House's traditions. First elected to Congress in 1970, Rangel served on the House Judiciary Committee during the hearings on the articles of impeachment of President Nixon, helped found the Congressional Black Caucus, and led the fight in Congress to pressure U.S. corporations to divest from apartheid South Africa. Best of all, this is a political memoir with "heart," the story of a life filled with friends, humor, and accomplishments. Charles Rangel is one of a kind, and this is the story of how he became the celebrated person and politician he is today. He opens his memoir with a preface about the 2006 elections and an outline of his goals as chairman of Ways and Means. From day one he wants to put the public first so that more Americans can say they haven't had a bad day since. "
