xv, [1], 400 pages. Illustrations. Source Notes. Index. A few pages have minor bend/crease. Paul Alexander is an American writer, playwright and stage director. He has published eight books, authored critically praised plays and directed plays as well as a documentary film. He is the founder and artistic director of The Artists Theatre Group, Inc., a New York-based not-for-profit theatre company. Alexander is the author of three political books: The Candidate, a chronicle of John Kerry's presidential campaign; Man of the People: The Life of John McCain; and Machiavelli's Shadow: The Rise and Fall of Carl Rove. His journalism has appeared in numerous publications, including The New York Times, The Nation, The Village Voice, Salon, Worth, The New York Observer, Interview, The Los Angeles Times Book Review, Biography, Men's Journal, Best Life and The Daily Beast. In Europe, his nonfiction has appeared in Paris Match, Gente and The Guardian. In Man of the People: The Life of John McCain, political journalist Paul Alexander offers the only objective, in-depth account of this remarkable politician's journey-from Naval Academy student to Presidential candidate. Readers will follow McCain from his rich Navy roots through his twenty-one year tour in the Navy, and then behold as he evolves into one of our country's most distinguished political leaders. Alexander flushes out the personal history to present a candid portrait of the political evolution of McCain. Alexander uncovers how he evolved into a politician. Paul Alexander followed McCain from the Presidential campaign trail to stumping for campaign finance reform. McCain's life is not only the story of the most compelling politician since Ronald Reagan but also the history of the transformation of American politics over the last thirty years. Through McCain's personal history-from Vietnam veteran to Reagan go-to guy to military campaign critic, Alexander pulls back the public curtain to reveal the private man. In doing so, he exposes military machinations, Vietnam controversy, POW torture, depression, and political intrigue. The straightforward, no-nonsense style that has become his hallmark shines through every page of this biography. Seller Inventory # 75190
