GOVERNOR HOWARD DEAN'S GRASSROOTS BID FOR THE PRESIDENCY IS GENERATING EXCITEMENT IN EVERY CORNER OF AMERICA.
In Winning Back America, Governor Dean writes for the first time about his life and the people and events that have shaped him, beginning with his upbringing in New York and taking us through his medical career, eleven and a half years as governor of Vermont, and finally into his presidential campaign. Howard Dean writes about:
• The years at college that changed the way he looks at America
• His decision to attend medical school and the origins of his commitment to children and to universal health care
• Meeting his wife, Judith Steinberg, and bringing up a family in Vermont
• One dramatic day that he began as an internist and ended as governor
• The successes of his governorship
• His decision to run for president of the United States
• His vision for the country
Winning Back America is Howard Dean in his own words. Dean tells his story with characteristic verve and forthrightness and also with emotion as he reflects on the death of his father and on the disappearance of his brother Charlie in Southeast Asia at the end of the Vietnam War.
Howard Dean's personal recollections bring us a full portrait of the candidate as a father, a husband, a son, and as a political leader.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Common Sense for 21st Century America
    Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2003
    Howard Dean's Winning Back America was a pleasure to read, an optimistic balance between autobiography and political philosophy, from a passionate and intelligent medical doctor who served as a five term governor of Vermont, who is currently the frontrunner to be the Democrat nominee to challenge Republican George Bush in 2004.
    The reader is immediately struck by the sense that this book is one of very few in the political world which is NOT ghost-written. The 15 chapters on topics ranging from Dean's personal background to geopolitical strategy are written in a highly conversational and inimitable style, as if Dean spent a few nights with a tape recorder for later transcription.
    In the course of 179 pages, Dean traverses miles of relevant issues with characteristic insight and common sense. This reader's only disappointment was that the book lacks some of the depth Dean is capable of, if only due to the book's brevity.
    The author's passion on civic life and good government is manifestly evident in his evocations of Theodore Roosevelt as his champion of an environmental vision that has withstood the test of time. Dean presents healthcare and balanced budgets with the vision of Kennedy - extolling the nation to do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
    The book's introduction is a call to civic action, to work together in common cause, to restore America's sense of community, after years of being divided by past and present administrations on matters of race, gender, sexual orientation, and income.
    The reader learns about Dean's roots as the eldest of four boys in a well-established family with American roots which can be traced back to the 18th century, his youth in East Hampton, his decision to choose medical school over a life in the investment banking business (explaining the one part he did like about investment banking was the money management), his global travels, his days at Yale, and how he met his wife Judith Steinberg.
    While establishing his medical practice in Burlington, VT, Dean became involved in local politics after successfully campaigning for a bike trail around Lake Champlain. He served as Lt. Governor while maintaining his medical practice, becoming Governor at age 43 in 1991 upon the death of Richard Snelling, whose example Dean admired as a "person of integrity who wanted to run the government properly without regard to party". Dean proceeded to win five two-year terms as Governor, and here tips his cap to 30-40% of the Vermont Republicans who supported him (in addition to his Democrat and independent support), primarily for his fiscal responsibility.
    Dean makes reference to his legendary "cheapness" in an amusing anecdote about a suit he bought at JCPenney in 1987 for $125, a story of Dean's utility and frugality (he still wears the suit), reminiscent of the charm from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger at a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder's meeting.
    The reader also learns about the death of his younger brother Charlie, how Dean overcame this loss, and how Charlie's death shaped Dean's outlook on life.
    The second half of the book focuses on Dean's candidacy for President of the United States, our current situation and his ideas for the future. Dean points out that he knew George Bush as a straightforward man back when they were both Governors, and expresses his alarm at the radical departure from the relatively moderate governorship Bush provided in Texas (moderate by Texas standards anyway), and Bush's jerking the nation sharply to the right upon becoming president, contrary to Bush's past record and his campaign promises.
    Here Dean spends several chapters focused on solving the issues of today's America - from job losses, budget deficits, the threat of terrorism, environmental degredation, and loss of community, to global epidemics and strife that threaten to engulf us all.
    Dean makes his vision for America clearly stated in his views towards multilateralism and international cooperation, economic fairness, balanced budgets, and equal rights for all. Throughout, he emphasizes the values of truth, innovation and moral clarity in leadership. He makes a passionate and effective call for providing all of America's citizens with healthcare and secondary education, and how to make these things available and affordable for all, for the good of all.
    He closes with the words of Marin Luther King who said "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter", and Dean repeats his constant admonition that "I am not going to tell any American that I can solve all their problems. That power is in your hands, not mine."
    An excellent book which I can only hope to scratch the surface of in such a brief review, Howard Dean's Winning Back America is candid, timely, and highly recommended.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse....
    Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2004
    As if Carter and CLinton weren't bad enough for this country as Presidents and Al Gore tries to steal what he can't win. Wins only 19 states to Bush's 31 (and 178 electoral votes)now we have Howard Dean who, get this, calls Al Gore "The Elected President." But then again, Howard Dean won't open his files to let anyone check out his past.
    Just when you thought we have seen the last of the bad Democrats, along comes Dean.
    If this idiot wins, I'm going short the stock market and leave the country. Unemployment will hit the same 14% we saw in the 70's. The economy, which is now finally turning around thanks to GWBII, will make a 180-degree turn backwards. Taxes will go up along with unemployment will SOAR!
    Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse, along comes Dean. This guy almost makes Clinton and Gore look decent!
    Vote for Clark or Lieberman and ditch this jerk.

    2.0 out of 5 stars How to lose America
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2004
    I picked this book up at my local bookstore when I saw the face of Democrat darling Howard Dean. I found myself somewhat engaged in the book, if only to understand what made Howard Dean the way he truly is.
    Unfortunately, his ideas for presidency come off as a sort of "If Bush agrees with it, I can't" and his arguments come off as rather weak with no substantiation. For example, on the issue of affirmative action and the University of Michigan, Dean criticizes Bush for characterizing their point system (which gave 20 points out of 100 for simply being black) as a quota and cites the earlier supreme court cases upholding affirmative action as important for diversity. However, in the University of Michigan case, the Supreme Court also described their system as too "quota-like" and hoped to phase out affirmative action within 25 years.
    Overall, a self-serving books (as are most books written by politicians on election years), but there is hardly anything worth reading in this book beyond Dean's life.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2003
    So, I read this book to see what all of the fuss is about. I sense that Dean wrote 100% of this himself; it is certainly not written by a professional writer. Having said that, it is an extremely short, easy read into why he thinks as he does. The book shows alot of candor, and opens the reader up to what and who Dean is. Politics aside, DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER THE REVIEW BY MIKE DUTTON! He is exactly from whom Dean is trying to win back America.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but...
    Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2003
    I've heard Gov. Dean speak before and have met him twice. Unfortuanately, this book doesn't give quite the same effect by and large. He first writes here about his life, and then he goes into his politix. Aside from the moving chapter on the death of his brother, his writing style is not quite as engaging as his speaking style. Kinda stiff actually. But near the very end, he gets into the rip-roaring style of his stump oratory and speaks of the errors of the current leadership and challenges the Anerican people to unite and take our country back. Perhaps Gov. Dean would do better by preparing a brief section on his life and making way for some of his classic stump speeches (as opposed to the brief excerpts used in "Howard Dean in His Own Words"). Perhaps Gov. Dean will do just that in the near future. If not, I hope he reads this and gets the idea.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ディーン候補はアメリカを取り戻せるか
    Reviewed in Japan on December 9, 2003
    Verified Purchase
    本書は2004年米大統領選の台風の目になりつつある、民主党候補ハワード・ディーン氏が自身の言葉で綴った自伝です。本人のスピーチと同じように、その文体は極めて平易で、ストレートな人物像がよく伝わる好著です。
    内容は二部構成になっていて、前半がディーン氏の生い立ち、後半は大統領選に向けての政策主張となっています。前半の最大のポイントはベトナム戦争徴兵逃れの真相に関する記述と、ベトナム戦争中に戦地で行方不明になった実弟、チャールズ氏に関する思い出を語った部分でしょう。（この事件を契機にディーン氏は反戦志向となった）
    この書籍の発刊直前に、３０年ぶりにベトナムでチャールズ氏の遺骨が発見されたということで、一層注目を浴びることになったディーン候補。熱烈なサポーターに支えられて、アメリカを取り戻せるか、注目です。
