About the Book

Bill Lofy's fast-paced and readable biography tells the inspirational story of one of the most compelling figures in the history of American politics—Senator Paul Wellstone.

Yet Lofy's book is more than just the chronicle of Wellstone's life and political career; it's also an indispensable guide to what ails political life today. Readers politically inclined or not will find in its pages a handbook to the uncertain and often treacherous business of politics and a stirring example for living a courageous and honest life—whether as public servant or private individual.

Bill Lofy is Communications Director of Wellstone Action, the organization created to carry on Paul and Sheila Wellstone's legacy after their death. Lofy was also a friend and confidante of the senator. This is his first book.
