Paul Simon, the former United States Senator from Illinois who has been at the center of many of the nation's battles, gives his candid observations of the events and the people who have made history.This book will stir some controversies.
My name is in this book because I was Paul's primary campaign manager in his first run for congress. As I've written elsewhere, I'm not really objective when it comes to Sen. Simon in any case. I am very happy he wrote this biography and it is an interesting read. Unfortunately, Paul's total lack of ego comes through, in that he approached this book almost like a second person narrator. It is a good and fair chronology of his political career, but doesn't show enough of his philosophy.
