Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Abourezk, a Democrat who served in Congress for almost a decade in the 1970s, details a fascinating journey, both personally and professionally, on his way to Capitol Hill. His tale, however, does not have the stirring triumph of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington ; he voluntarily left office in 1979. The annals of the U.S. Senate are replete with accounts of political mavericks, and Abourezk helped lead the charge in the 1970s against the Washington establishment, the status quo, and politics as usual. Perhaps his best training for this exercise was not his war service but his time spent as a bartender in South Dakota. His brand of populist politics infuriated many, pleased others, and should be read by all, for often truth is stranger than fiction.

Srinidhi Anantharamiah

A thouroghly captivating and sentimental autobiography of a socially conscious individual

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2006

James G. Abourezk, a former United States Senator from South Dakota (1973-1979), has enlightened us with his autobiographical account of the motivating experiences in his life. A prominent dissenter in the political mainstream, Abourezk recounts his early years growing up in South Dakota, the son of Lebanese immigrants. From early on, he championed the causes of the underprivileged, having been raised near a Sioux reservation.

Abourezk reflects his encounters and adventures which made him an ardent supporter of issues which would make him be branded as a "troublemaker" years later in the United Staes Senate. He supported American Indian causes, labor rights, civil rights, Palestinian national rights, and environmental concerns, causes which sometimes were at odds with his liberal supporters.

I recommend this book because it is an inspirational account of living the "American dream." Abourezk's determination and enthusiasm of making a difference is well presented in this captivating autobiography.
