A no-holds-barred biography of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Andrew Cuomo is the protagonist of an ongoing political saga that
reads like a novel. In many ways, his rise, fall, and rise again is
an iconic story: a young American politician of vaunting ambition,
aiming for nothing less than the presidency. Building on his
father's political success, a first run for governor in 2002 led to
a stinging defeat, and a painful, public divorce from Kerry
Kennedy, scion of another political dynasty, Cuomo had to come back
from seeming political death and reinvent himself. He did so,
brilliantly, by becoming New York's attorney general, and compiling
a record that focused on public corruption. In winning the
governorship in 2010, he promised to clean up America's most
corrupt legislature. He is blunt and combative, the antithesis of
the glad-handing, blow-dried senator or governor who tries to
please one and all. He's also proven he can make his legislature
work, alternately charming and arm-twisting his colleagues with a
talent for political strategy reminiscent of President Lyndon
Johnson. Political pundits tend to agree that for Cuomo, a run for
the White House is not a question of whether, but when.
