Description
4 cassettes / 4 hours Read by the Author "Strikingly reflects the realities of modern politics, what it looks like, feels like, from the inside."--New York Times Book Review During his terms in the U.S. Senate, Bill Bradley won a national reputation for thoughtfulness, decency, & a willingness to take controversial positions on issues ranging from tax reform to the rights of Native Americans. All these qualities inform this best-selling memoir, in which Bradley assesses his political career show more & the experiences that shaped his convictions, & looks beyond them to consider the state of the American union on the eve of the 21st century. Time Present, Time Past offers an intimate portrait of the day-to-day working of the Senate: how legislation gets passed & sometimes thwarted; how money is raised & at what cost. But Bradley also tells listeners about deeper questions: What does it means to be an American in an ago of dwindling opportunities & increasing inequality? How much can we expect from our public servants? What do we owe our fellow citizens? The result is a genuinely revelatory AudioBook, informed by intelligence, compassion, & unprecedented candor. show lessTags
