A Political Odyssey

Autor Mike Gravel, Joe Lauria
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 sep 2008
Until the first Democratic presidential debate on 26 April 2007, former Alaskan senator Mike Gravel campaigned in almost total obscurity. All that changed with a few provocative remarks he made from the debate stand. The response to his performance from the media overwhelmed his shoestring campaign. In this candid, anecdotal portrait, presidential candidate Gravel expounds on his views of the military-industrial complex, the imperial presidency, post-war US foreign policy and corporate America.

Notă biografică

MIKE GRAVEL is most prominently known for releasing the Pentagon Papers—the secret official study revealing the manipulations of successive US administrations that misled the country into the Vietnam War. In 1971, he waged a successful one-man filibuster for five months that forced the Nixon administration to cut a deal, effectively ending the draft in the United States. His publications include The Senator Gravel Edition: The Pentagon Papers, Jobs and More Jobs, and Citizen Power.
