Where Have All the Leaders Gone? – Book Review

6/10

Elevator Pitch – A call for Washington to stop playing games and lead. Written in 2007.

Overall: This might be the most interesting book that I won’t ever recommend to anyone. There are some great stories and lessons to learn from his obviously very interesting career and relationships. It is an extremely political book, so if you are at all a fan of George W, then you will be offended. Majorly. I was a little disappointed by how much time he spent bashing people.

That said, it was very interesting, and had it moments of grandeur. I didn’t have any favorite quotes, but the whole conversation about whether or not capitalism/democracy  is actually working, and his trips to Cuba to spend time with Castro were my favorites. Very interesting to hear a man of his stature  tell the story of his very casual, yet impacting conversations with the former leader of the closest communist country to our own.

Not a bad summer read, which is what is was for me. Not sure that it will be what you are looking for, but if you like political, and you like listening to old men talk about the way it was, and they way it should be, then this is about as good as it gets.
