Joe Lieberman: The Historic Choice

FROM THE PUBLISHER

About the Author:

Stephan Singular is well known for his work as a journalist and freelance writer. He is the author of nine nonfiction books. His book, Talked to Death: The Life and Murder of Alan Berg, is the basis for Oliver Stone's 1989 film Talk Radio. His New York Times bestselling A Killing in the Family: A True Story of Love, Lies and Murder became the NBC-TV mini-series Loves, Lies and Murders. He is also well known for his other books, perhaps most notably Presumed Guilty: An Investigation into the JonBenet Ramsey Case, the Media, and the Culture of Pornography and The Rise and Fall of David Geffen.

SYNOPSIS

Joe Lieberman: The Historic Choice covers the senator's life from his birth in 1942 in Stamford, Connecticut. It takes readers through his years in public schools, at Yale University and Yale Law School, his elections to the Connecticut State Senate, the office of Attorney General of Connecticut and the United States Senate, and the historic announcement Monday, August 7 of his selection by Vice President Al Gore as his running mate.

FROM THE CRITICS

KLIATT

As one might expect of a book appearing this quickly, it is very superficial. An alternative title might be "Joe Lieberman Lite." It briefly looks at Lieberman's early years, his election to various offices, before diving into the impeachment issue. The latter consists mainly of his 1998 speech to the Senate. The main text is barely 150 pages and followed by quotes from other politicians, columnists and "quotable" individuals. Lieberman's abbreviated voting record in the Senate is listed next. By the time this KLIATT issue is out, the election results will soon be in, and the choice of this purchase will be clearer. KLIATT Codes: SA—Recommended for senior high school students, advanced students, and adults. 2000, Kensington/Pinnacle (850 Third Ave., NY, NY 10022), 249p, illus, bibliog, 18cm, $6.50. Ages 16 to adult. Reviewer: Robin Holab-Abelman; White Plains, NY, November 2000 (Vol. 34 No. 6)
