In the book, Lott spoke out on the remark he made at the Strom Thurmond birthday party, former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, and about his feelings of betrayal toward the Tennessee senator, claiming " If Frist had not announced exactly when he did, as the fire was about to burn out, I would still be majority leader of the Senate today.

" He also described former Democratic Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota as trustworthy.

He also reveals that President George W. Bush, then – Secretary of State Colin Powell, and other GOP leaders played a major role in ending his career as Senate Republican Leader.
