In this memoir Bill Bradley talks about his life, his country, his role in government and his hopes for the future. He speaks with affection about his small-town Missouri upbringing and traces his road from childhood to Princeton and Oxford, to ten years of professional basketball and public service in the US Senate. Bradley describes his many voyages of exploration across America - to urban ghettos, coal-country Appalachia, Sioux reservations and bars in Detroit, and he tells of the scoundrels and heroes, the celebrated political figures past and present who have crossed his path. He spends much of the book outlining his interpretation of American history, his solutions for the great divides of race and economic status and his belief in a truth-telling leadership which does not shirk reality.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. No spine creases & moderate wear on cover. Aging pages with a few spots on edge, no markings in text. From Publishers Weekly: The political autobiography of the former New Jersey senator and former New York Knick, an eight-week PW bestseller, features a new afterword by the author. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal: Part autobiography, part political position paper, this audio memoir is an abridged version of the author's book of the same title (LJ 1/96). Bradley, a U.S. senator from New Jersey, describes his childhood in small-town Missouri, his decision to attend Princeton, and his ten-year professional basketball career with the New York Knicks. Having achieved fame, he then started his political career, winning election to three terms in the Senate. Bradley reads well enough but at times sounds as if he has given the same political speech too many times; he reels off catch phrases so quickly that their meaning is sometimes lost. Too bad, because his theme of combining government action with personal responsibility is interesting. Overall, this is a good title for public affairs, biography, or political science collections.
