Publisher's Synopsis
This is the political and spiritual memoir of Senator Mark O Hatfield, the most progressive politician in the Republican Party since Abraham Lincoln. The book details his opposition to the Vietnam War, successful drafting of the Soviet-American nuclear freeze legislation with Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy, and his strong stands of conscience on health reform, the death penalty, and the balanced budget amendment that typically ran counter to the Republican mainstream. This eloquent memoir also lays out Hatfield's spirituality, the source of his stands of conscience, as well as reflections on creating a new revolution in American politics and society.
