Publisher Description
After a childhood of shocking poverty, Harry Reid completed law school, working as a policeman to pay his way. He faced death threats as the head of the Nevada Gaming Commission trying to clean up Las Vegas. Eventually he rose to become Senate Majority Leader in Washington-without ever forgetting the mining town he came from, or the battles he fought along the way. This is that rare book by a politician that is more than a glorified press release. It is an extraordinary American story-told in a voice that is flinty, real, and filled with passion.
Customer Reviews
The Good Fight
Reid has woven an impressive tapestry in The Good Fight. Lazy journalists--excuse the phrase-- use 'hardscrabble' to describe Harry Reid's path to power. LAME. The Good Fight is Reid's powerful narrative in his own words. At once it is touching and instructive as to how we got to where we are and how that experience has shaped Reid. My favorite lines are the last two sentences, which lend the most insight into his personality and character than any pundit could hope to provide. Way to go Harry.
