Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Inscribed to previous owner and signed on the free front end page. Closed tear (1/4") on back of d j. Full number line. Protected in a removable archival cover...352 pages. Jim Rogan was born to a single mother--a cocktail waitress who was later convicted of welfare fraud; his bartender-father abandoned them both before he was born. After a rough-and-tumble childhood in San Francisco's hardscrabble Mission District--where he was raised by his colorful extended family--he became a political junkie at the age of nine, and once received help with his homework from Harry Truman. But Rogan traveled with a tough circle of friends; after years of borderline delinquency he was expelled from high school, became a porn theater bouncer, and then a bartender at a strip joint and a Hell's Angels bar. Along the way, a young Arkansas politician advised him to study law and become a member of a different kind of bar. In time Rogan scrapped his way through college and law school. He was appointed a Los Angeles County DA, prosecuting members of the notorious Crips and Bloods gangs; then became a judge, a state legislator, and finally a congressman from Southern California. And in 1998, as a Republican member of the House Judiciary Committee, he found himself prosecuting the impeachment of the President of the United States--Bill Clinton, the same Arkansas politician who advised him to go into law and politics two decades earlier. Rough Edges is a rarity among Washington tales: full of outrageous stories, wild humor, pull-no-punches candor, and downright fun. Replete with character and characters, and told in Rogan's engaging and unswervingly frank voice, Rogan's story is certainly the most freewheeling--and perhaps the most honest--political memoir ever written.
Congressman Rogan is a master storyteller - no matter what the subject matter of each chapter, I found myself completely engrossed in the story. He is a brilliant communicator. This account of his life is riveting and inspriational. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves history or is a political junkie. Can't wait for his next book to come out!
