Added Mary Matalin, Threshold Editions' Editor in Chief, "Karl was always in a league of his own in the world of electoral politics and he now will literally create a unique genre for historians, policy makers, political junkies and serious readers."

"I'm delighted to have signed on with a wonderful publisher that has great enthusiasm for this book." said Karl Rove, "Now I look forward to writing about my role in George W.
