Recenzii

"The Atlanta Journal-Constitution"Titles come and go, and White House chiefs of staff can exit faster than they entered. But Jordan, at fifty-five, would have you believe he has larger fish to fry than congressmen and Cabinet secretaries wanting fifteen minutes with the president of the United States, not to mention the door-pounding Washington media....The architect of Jimmy Carter's improbable nomination for the presidency tells how quickly power and position fade to irrelevance and how one's sense of proportion can change.

"The Wall Street Journal"Anyone with half a mind or soul will cry, laugh, and learn.

"The Huntsville Times" (AL)An inspiring journey of a man who feels lucky to be alive...a story worth hearing and a story worth reading.

"Library Journal"Sound, upbeat advice...[Jordan] offers cancer sufferers and their families ways to combat the disease by...being positive and proactive.

"The Wall Street Journal"Jordan serves up wise counsel, instructive insights, and important hope to the millions of American families afflicted with this dreaded disease. Along the way, he offers delicious, sometimes biting, political perspectives.

"Vanity Fair" Wise and touching.
