True Faith and Allegiance is the highly anticipated personal history from Alberto R. Gonzales, former attorney general of the United States and former counsel to the president - the only lawyer and only Hispanic to hold both these positions and an ultimate insider in the most tumultuous events in recent history.
Born to a poor but proud working-class family in Humble, Texas, Gonzales was raised along with his seven siblings in a modest two-bedroom home. His loving and devout parents taught him the conservative values of hard work and accountability that motivated Gonzales to the highest echelons of power. He was a confidant to President George W. Bush during the crucible of the 9/11 attacks, and he played a vital role in the administration's immediate response to protect America and the far-reaching steps to prevent further harm.
