MIKE PENCE: THE ULTIMATE POLITICAL SHAPE-SHIFTER "I'm a Christian,
a conservative, and a Republican . . . in that order." --Mike Pence
As the impeachment of President Donald Trump remains a constant
topic of discussion in political circles, the questions around our
current vice president also continue to swirl, and in some ways,
the puzzlement over his true nature has never truly been clear. Tom
LoBianco, a longtime Pence reporter, cuts to the core of the
nation's most enigmatic politician in this intimate yet expansive
account of the vice president's journey to the White House. In
Piety & Power, LoBianco follows Pence from his evangelical
conversion in college to his failed career as a young lawyer, to
his thwarted attempts at politics until he hitched his wagon to
far-right extremism, becoming the Congressional poster boy for
faith-based policy and Tea Party rhetoric. Giving readers a
minute-by-minute account of the selection process that made him
Donald Trump's unlikely running mate in 2016, Piety & Power
traces Pence's personal and political life, painting a picture of a
man driven by faith and conviction, yes, but also a hunger for
power. LoBianco crafts a revealing portrait of the real Mike
Pence--a politician whose understated style masks a drive for
power, but also a surprising political acumen--by drawing on years
of research, over one hundred exclusive interviews with those
closest to the vice president, and deep ties both within the
Beltway and Indiana state politics. Highlighting Pence's strained,
at times obsequious, relationship with Trump; his marriage to
Karen; his deeply repressed personality; his presidential
aspirations and plans for America's future; and his deep-rooted
faith in his country, in God, and ultimately himself; Piety &
Power provides insights and answers as it sheds light on this
ambitious Midwestern politician, his past, and his possible future.
