Orrin Hatch

"From Senator Orrin Hatch, one of the most widely respected and best-known legislators in America, comes an accessible, lively, deeply personal book: part essay on how politics should be practiced, part memoir of how he has tried to embody those principles during his long and very successful tenure in the U.S. Senate - the only public office he's ever held. Hatch addresses matters close to his own heart: the true role of the public servant, how to know if you should run for office; the importance of having convictions and when to yield on them, how a politician survives personal attacks, and how to survive running for president. He gives a behind-the-scenes look at what really went on during some of the most controversial and important debates of his career, including the Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, and the Clinton impeachment hearings. And he stakes his position in the current debate over human cloning and stem cell research. Anecdotal, soul-searching, at times hilarious, this is a unique and surprising book from one of the great political mavericks of our time."--BOOK JACKET.
