About this title

Synopsis

Presents an autobiography of the governor of New Mexico. Richardson, widely regarded as one of the most charismatic figures in the Democratic Party, grew up in Mexico City, the son of an American businessman and a Mexican mother. During his career in politics, he traveled the world, negotiating face-to-face with dictators such as Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro. For his efforts, he was nominated four times for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Reviews

Richardson's backslapping enthusiasm for public service comes through unfettered in this enjoyable audiobook. Richardson, current governor of New Mexico, has served in Congress, as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and President Clinton's energy secretary. A four-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, he specializes in hostage-release negotiations with hostile governments and peace talks between warring factions. Richardson's style is blunt, and he's unafraid to paint dynamic pictures of his political accomplishments and entanglements. But his treatment of his Mexican-American background and personal life makes for the most compelling listening, especially the kidnapping of his sister in Mexico City. Richardson's diction is sometimes muffled—syllables swallowed, words rushed out on residual air, and on occasion critical words can be misheard ("vital" comes across as "vile"). But for the most part, this loose, unbridled quality adds a human touch to the narration.. Some listeners may argue this is less political memoir and more extended campaign commercial for a possible presidential run in 2008. But in either case, Richardson's in-your-face manner makes for an engaging listen.
