Overview

This is a telling account of a life spent in politics helping to shape many of the most significant moments of the twentieth century, and the book offers a rare glimpse into the private life of a legendary political family committed to public service. In a refreshingly candid and lively discussion, a picture of the senior Gore emerges as a tireless advocate for social change who stuck to principle and never backed down from controversy. The pride of victory and the pain of defeat fill every page. More profound, perhaps, is the personal portrait he gives of his young son, Al Gore Jr, an unsentimental look at a father's hopes for his son's future, now placed in the context of a son honouring his now deceased father's memory through his own political legacy. From commentary on race relations to words of inspiration for our youth, Gore Sr embodied the best of Southern progressivism and, along the way, clearly articulated the bedrock issues that have to come define much of American politics today.
