Get It Done - by Ben Barnes (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Ben Barnes started out as a whistleblower. He was only 19 when he uncovered corruption in the Health Department in Austin, TX, and testified against the culprits. He felt empowered - a guy like him could make a difference. Now at 86, despite an over 60 year career in and around Washington, he is trying to go more places and solve more problems than any other time in his life. Barnes is ready to share his decades of political experience and remind readers that there is a way to keep going and keep glowing, even in the golden years. The golden years are a fine time to get things done.

InGET IT DONE, Ben Barnes details never-before-heard stories of the most consequential politicians of the past several decades, including Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, John Connally, Hubert Humphrey, Ross Perot, Barbara Jordan, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump. He will shed new light on pivotal political events, including the Kennedy assassination, the Anwar Sadat assassination, the Vietnam War, and the Iranian hostage crisis. Further, Barnes offers actionable lessons to successfully face, combat, and thwart the consequences of a second Trump term.
