Chris Matthews has been playing 'Hardball' since the day he was born. As host of <i>Hardball</i> and the best-selling author of such classics as <i>Hardball</i> and <i> Kennedy & Nixon</i> Matthews is a political cop who insists on the truth and nothing but. In <i>Now Let Me Tell You What I Really Think</i> Chris Matthews is at his brilliant blunt bulldogged best. <br> From the Cold War to the Clinton on Years Matthews the straight-up account of what it means to be an American. Matthews tells us about his 'God and Country' Catholic school education in Philadelphia complete with cold war air-raid drills and his arly enthusiasm for politics. He also shares with us his various adventures: ears in Africa with the Peace Corps the challenge of running for congress at a mere 28 years old and lastly his three decades deep in the 'belly of the beast' of American politics. <br> Matthews has made his name as a razor-sharp journalist determined to expose the politicians who abuse their power. With <i>Now Let Me Tell You What I Think</i> Matthews rallies those who 'work hard and play by the rules' and why he still heralds the wisdom he learned from a capitol policeman over twenty years ago 'The little man loves his country because it's all he's got.' A hard-to-categorize maverick with an uncool love for his country Matthews gives irreverent look at where we are and how we got here.
