A fluent and readable political biography revealing an extraordinary full life committed to genuine public service. As a Canadian I am heartened again by the many ways that Sarge Shriver and the new institutions he founded on behalf of the poor at home and abroad served as a beacon for so many of us who valued these efforts, and tried to participate during a particularly difficult time for America. We can only hope that such people of character continue to serve in public life.
