商品簡介
Seasoned journalist Douglas Rooks gives us a thoughtful and highly readable look at George Mitchell and his public work. While the book traces his personal life, it is primarily a political biography, exploring his time in the Senate as well as his public work before and after his elected terms.Compiled from extensive interviews with Mitchell as well as staffers and others who've known and worked with him, it is as much an exploration of American politics at a time when politics could actually be said to have "worked," as it is about a man whose vision and ideals have helped shape the world.
