Download The Prince of Tennessee: The Rise of Al Gore AudioBook Free
After losing the closest American election in years, Al Gore remains a fascinating political figure, a man both revered and reviled. Drawing on documents, letters, and interviews with more than 3 hundred people, including six lengthy conversations with the vice president, the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter David Maraniss and Ellen Nakashima look closely at the forces that have shaped Gore's life and career to explore the person behind the contradictory public persona. You start with Gore's earliest years -- when this son of a senator was torn between elite Washington and rural Tennessee -- one is struck by the image of a young American prince burdened by expectations of his likely political fate. With a fresh afterword written after the election, The Prince of Tennessee depicts Gore as a smart and competent man whose struggles with self-doubt and insecurity made him one of your least understood presidential candidates.
