5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Cramer wonderfully portrays Bob Dole in under 200 pages., March 30, 1999

By A Customer

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Depression-era history, and how it shaped a popular American figure. Though brief in text, this book is chocked full of interesting and amazing stories of the Senator's life and battles. Mr. Cramer's personal portayal comes across as if he where there; And is able to boil the essence of Bob Dole down into an enjoyable one to two sitting treat. Well worth it!
