Winning Campaigns, Losing Sight, Gaining Insight

Winning Campaigns, Losing Sight, Gaining Insight by Ken Rietz is the autobiographical story of a middle class kid from Wisconsin. The son of a mailman, Ken found his way into Republican politics where he learned the skills necessary for a career as a communications strategist. His work as a political consultant brought him together with President Nixon for a memorable dinner at Camp David. He later became the program director for the Republican National Convention, which nominated President Reagan.

His career was tarnished by the Watergate investigation and at age forty-nine he was legally blind. Throughout his memoir, Ken details his memories and shares how his competitive spirit, determination, and positive attitude helped him overcome these obstacles.
