Synopsis

America needs The Duke more than ever right now!

The Duke, Weekly conversations with the last honest politician. See what happens when a political giant and a comedian walk into a kitchen…

“Scott Kerman humanizes Michael Dukakis -- presidential candidate, three-term Massachusetts governor, community role model, bane of litterers -- with humor and insight that reveal a multi-layered man of deep civic passions who's thoughtful, irreverent, and refreshingly comfortable in his own skin. A delight to read.” —Brian MacQuarrie, Boston Globe.

‘Humorist Scott Kerman shows us that decades after being out of office one of America’s best known political leaders still has so much to say by opening his heart – and his mouth.”—Stephen Kurkjian, Three-time Pulitzer-prize winner for Boston Globe

It only took one page into the ice cream story to find myself completely pulled into these quiet, honest, sweet, funny conversations with Governor Dukakis — as if I, too, were sitting at the kitchen table with The Duke and Scott Kerman.
What I found extra special was a tenderness that you don’t often see in books about politics. It’s a thoughtful, deeply personal, and unexpectedly moving book, and Scott Kerman perfectly captures (with such warmth and wit) what it feels like to learn from someone who’s lived a full, purpose-driven life - and still has more to give. It made me laugh. It made me think. And by the end, it made me feel grateful - for leaders who lead with decency, and for writers who know how to bring them to life.~Jennifer Ives, The Book Club.
