He helped Bill Clinton win re-election and navigate the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He conducted the first-ever presidential poll for Donald Trump - in 1987! He guided Michael Bloomberg to three terms as Mayor of New York. Three of his clients - Israeli leaders Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres and Menachem Begin - won the Nobel Peace Prize. But two - Rabin and Yugoslav politician Zoran Djindjic - were assassinated. Here Schoen reveals the 50 truths of power he has learned in his prestigious career as a “Political Insider,” the title of his long-running Fox-TV show. It is a book for grown-ups.
