“I consider George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Denny Hastert all to be good men,” Mr. DeLay writes, “but there is not an articulate voice among them.”

Mr. Delay’s 179-page memoir is already infuriating critics who say he has never recognized his own misconduct, how his style of politics contributed to a deterioration in House standards and the degree to which his troubles consumed House Republicans in a tough election year. One critic, Matt Angle, director of the Lone Star Project, an activist group that monitors Texas Republicans, said that in sharp contrast to the book’s title, Mr. DeLay left Congress when it appeared he would have to fight for his political survival.

“DeLay titling his new book ‘No Retreat, No Surrender’ is like Jack Abramoff calling his memoirs ‘Ethics and Honesty,’ ” Mr. Angle said this week. He was referring to the jailed lobbyist who had ties to Mr. DeLay.

Mr. DeLay’s seat went to a Democrat in November when he tried to withdraw after winning his primary and the courts would not let Republicans replace him on the ballot. In the book, Mr. DeLay said he chose to quit after weeks of prayer, deciding it would prevent his becoming an issue for other Republicans.
