Get It Done

di Ben Barnes (Autore)

Grand Central Publishing, 2026

From one of the most influential officeholders in Texas and one of the most influential power brokers in Washington over the last 70 years, lifetime Democrat Ben Barnes, an intimate and unexpected look behind the corridors of power, featuring Barnes’s experiences with LBJ, Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden, among many others. 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 87, despite an over 70-year career in and around Washington and Texas, 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 fighting, even in the golden years. The golden years are a fine time to get things done. In GET 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 the second Trump term.
