With this highly anticipated and much-talked-about tell-all, we go deep into Ford?s personal life, including his addictions and his rivalry with his brother; we watch him as he runs Toronto; we overhear hair-raising late-night phone calls and see private, after-hours events; and we also get the much-gossiped-about but little-known account of Towhey?s desperate struggle to protect the mayor from himself.This juicy read is, like Ford, political candy, but it doesn?t expose Ford for the sake of ridiculeit empathizes with him and explains him.

From the publisher:" In February 2013, Toronto?s former mayor, Rob Ford, was caught on video smoking crack cocaine. Weeks later, he was accused of groping a campaign rival; had to leave a gala for being too intoxicated; and was fired as the coach of a high school football team. The events were part of a stream of Rob Ford "mishaps,? which include a DUI; accusations of domestic violence; a trial where the Toronto City Council stripped him of his powers; even accusations of murder. Through it all, Ford?s former chief of staff, Mark Towhey, stood by his side. Towhey was part of Ford?s inner circle; he?d joined Ford?s mayoral campaign in 2010 and quickly became one of his closest advisors. He responded to media questions regarding Ford?s drug and alcohol additions, his anger management problems, and, of course, the video of Ford smoking crack. In May 2013, Mark Towhey had a confidential conversation with Ford. Much speculations has been about this conversation, but thus far, the public only knows two words from that conversation; Towhey told Ford to "get help.?
