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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Prologue -- January 20, 2001 -- Surviving Childhood -- Fighting for the Cause -- Capitol Cops and Whores -- Campaign Years -- In the White House -- Where's the Beef? -- TV Lights -- Crash and Burn -- Hitting Bottom -- Grace -- The Five -- Beyond Surviving -- Epilogue. 600 10 $a Beckel, Bob. 650 0 $a Political consultants $v Biography. 650 0 $a Political culture. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1981-1989. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1989- 650 0 $a Television personalities $v Biography. 650 0 $a Recovering addicts $v Biography. 655 7 $a Politics & Government. $2 local 655 7 $a Biographies & Memoirs. $2 local 655 7 $a Nonfiction. $2 local 700 1 $a Mann, John David. 941 $a 8 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611014341.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518020529.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722052835.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210105034711.0 952 $l XFPB697 $d 20200212012650.0 952 $l WGPB115 $d 20200107143855.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20170728025210.0 952 $l CVPA586 $d 20160315010337.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EDD4D4A48A9D11E59F87E5DBDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
