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.
From the man who battled the Bush Administration comes “a compelling memoir…at times heartwrenching.”
—Las Vegas Review-Journal
“Vividly describes his contentious relationship with President Bush.”
—Esquire
“Recounts fights with everyone from classmates to the man who would eventually become his father-in-law, preparing him for a senatorial life of battling the Bush White House and Republican filibusters.”
—Washington Post
