Gore: A Political Life
by By Zelnick, Robert
Category: Biography & Autobiography , Political

Zelnick, a former ABC news correspondent who now teaches at Boston College, provides an inside view of Al Gore, whose entire life has been dedicated to either his father's or his own political careers. A self-described "screaming moderate," this biography enhances this contradictory picture of Gore, examining both the image of the controlling "Boy Scout of American Politics," and the more volatile man who has written that America's abuse of the environment is comparable to the Nazi genocide against the Jews.
