[Cliff · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a book Lieberman wrote about his experiences as the first Jewish nominee for national office in the runup to 2006 re-election which ended up being a rather extraordinary story in and of its self. It's slightly awkward, as he's obviously trying to make nice with people he wanted to win re-election, after embracing the foreign policy of the men who beat him and Al Gore for Vice President, even after Gore had basically disowned him.

Still, its as ernest and honest as you'd expect from a politician like Lieberman. Tilted, sometimes, perhaps, but never false. And it is an interesting look into the kind of pressure cooker national candidates find themselves in.
