Synopsis

In this gripping political history, New York Times bestselling author Newt Gingrich takes readers behind the scenes of the 1994 Republican Revolution and the rise of the modern GOP to show how we can lead America toward a more conservative, prosperous future. 
 
The story of Gingrich’s rise from college professor, to architect of the Contract with America, to Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives is historic. There were many adventures, personalities, missteps, and victories on the road from a seemingly permanent House GOP minority to the first Republican majority in 40 years. These untold stories and inspiring lessons about the rise of modern conservatism are immensely relevant today as the United States faces profound and extraordinary challenges.

Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich joins with former National Republican Congressional Committee Executive Director Joe Gaylord to bring alive the stories, events, and activities that led to the Contract with America and the first re-elected Republican majority since 1928. No two people are better positioned to tell this story than Gingrich and Gaylord. They were there, and they got it done. 

Gingrich and Gaylord share never-before-told stories about: Ronald Reagan Richard Nixon Tip O’Neill George H.W. Bush Bill Clinton, and other pivotal political figures March to the Majority is not only about the past, but also about the challenges our nation faces today and offers principles for governing the American people.

The author definitely has a biased political perspective but I think this is definitely a decent understanding of how “Moral Majority” politics became mobilizing after the Nixon period.

Interesting detailed history of Newt Gingrich's work in political activity which led to the Republican Party's successes in 1994 when they won a congressional majority (after 40 years of Democratic rule).
