"Paul Wellstone, we miss you. Few politicians, especially these
days, are as willing to stand up and speak the truth as Wellstone
was. In this era of flaccid rhetoric and pre-approved sound bites,
he had the rare ability to ignite a fire in his audiences. Bill
Lofy's excellent biography rekindles that fire and reminds us just
how much politicians of Wellstone's honesty, character, and spine
are needed---now more than ever. This book should inspire a new
generation of voters and political leaders alike."
---Arianna Huffington, columnist and editor of HuffingtonPost.com
"This book captures the vibrant spirit of my friend Paul
Wellstone---the fierce commitment to justice that defined his life,
and that shapes his enduring legacy."
---U.S. Senator Russ Feingold
"Paul Wellstone was a great leader because he fused progressive
idealism with a stubbornly pragmatic politics. Bill Lofy's book
captures that dual commitment in his story of Wellstone's life, and
also shows us the extraordinary human appeal that Wellstone
emanated in his relationships with people in all walks of life.
This book is an engaging read that also tells us a lot about the
political practice to which we should aspire."
---Frances Fox Piven, author of "The War at Home"
"This vividly written book captures the life and personal qualities
of the late Senator Paul Wellstone. In so doing it provides an
illuminating gloss on Max Weber's seminal exposition of the
political vocation. It is a jewel of a book."
-Fred Greenstein, Princeton University
Bill Lofy's fast-paced and readable biography tells the
inspirational story of one of the most compelling figures in the
history of American politics---SenatorPaul Wellstone.
Yet Lofy's book is more than just the chronicle of Wellstone's life
and political career; it's also an indispensable guide to what ails
political life today. Readers politically inclined or not will find
in its pages a handbook to the uncertain and often treacherous
business of politics and a stirring example for living a courageous
and honest life---whether as public servant or private
individual.
