Synopsis
Using access to Gore's inner circle, this examination of Al Gore by a reporter who has worked for Newsweek sees him as cautious to a fault when in public and always aware of the image he is projecting as a candidate. It reviews issues of fundraising and the credibility of some of his assertions, and it seeks to find just where Gore's true loyalties lie.

Industry Reviews
"...[T]houghtful...a carefully considered appraisal of Gore's career...[that] despite its judicious tone, draws an often damning picture..."
Turque
"Just like its subject, the Gore biography is generally sober, conscientious and thorough."
Austin
"I feel more kindly toward Gore having read this book than I did before. No, Turque has not written a cream-puff biography....What Turque has done, though, is probe the conflict between the public and private man with a subtlety and decency we don't often see these days."
Tomasky
"[Gore] emerges in Turque's study as a three-dimensional figure rather than the caricature that had been so widely accepted (with Gore's own ample assistance) and so assiduously promulgated both by his foes and lazy journalists."
