Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. No Jacket. [The United States of Ambition : Politicians, Power and the Pursuit of Office] {Times Books; New York; 1992; Trade Paperback; Good/No Jacket; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; ISBN: 0-8129-2027-9.} Corners bent and creased, blue ink dot on fore edge. "Why do politicians never quite measure up to our expectations? Alan Ehrenhalt answers that question by focusing on those individuals who have devoted their lives to the pursuit of office and by introducing us to a new breed of American politician: the self-sufficient professional for whom reelection, not governing, is the touchstone of political life. In an insightful and provocative analysis, Ehrenhalt clarifies what we really expect form out leaders and defines the unease we feel every time we step into a voting booth." Listing updated 4-1-2004.
