review 1: A collection of thoughts from one of the most renowned and under-appreciated Democrats of the last century. George McGovern helped shape the very Democrat Party that we align ourselves with today. This book is a brain-to-pen dialogue between McGovern and the American people, regarding the current Obama Administration, and the path that we must walk as a nation moving forward.The book feels as if it was written hurriedly, but perhaps that helps lend to its honesty. I highly recommend this to any any all politically-minded individuals, especially of those occupying the half known as "the Left".
review 2: It was refreshing to read a book that plainly says where we should be heading as a country.George McGovern said essentially that the Democratic Party is the part... morey of social movementsfor positive change in the country where everyone has access to education; pays their fair share of taxes and has access to affordable healthcare. McGovern pointed out the futility of being mired down in Afghanistan; the need for developmentof renewable energy resources; mass transportation; Failed drug policies; Taking the abortionissue out of poliitics -"It is essentially a women's issue... The woman will make the decision after consultation with her partner, her doctor, and her spiritual advisor." less
