About the Author
Senator Harry Reid was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1982, then to the U.S. Senate in 1986. Currently serving his fourth term as senator, he was unanimously elected Senate Minority Leader in 2004, and after the elections of 2006, Senate Majority Leader.
Mark Warren is executive editor of Esquire magazine, where he has worked since 1988, directing much of the magazineÂ’s political writing. Previously, he directed or worked on several national, state, and local political campaigns out of Austin, Texas.
From Booklist
Reid became the leader of the Democrats in the Senate in 2004 when his friend, Tom Daschle of South Dakota, lost his reelection in a bitterly contested race as the Republicans pushed for the kind of domination that White House advisor Karl Rove hoped would last a generation or longer. Reid was part of the push back as Democrats began defying President Bush, most prominently on issues of the war in Iraq and efforts to privatize Social Security. Reid recalls his own support of the war, his regrets, and the sickening realization that Congress had been misled. He is blunt in his criticism of Bush, acknowledging that the animosity is likely mutual. Reid alternates between details of political battles in Washington, D.C., and the struggle of growing up in the hardscrabble gold-mining town of Searchlight, Nevada. The town had no steady schoolteacher but plenty of prostitutes, and no indoor plumbing in most houses. The reader might expect the switch between the two to be jarring, but both arenas are populated with interesting characters and hard-fought battles. --Vanessa Bush
