THE LIEBERMAN LIBRARY:
An Amazing Adventure: Joe and Hadassah's Personal Notes on the 2000 Campaign by Joe & Hadassah Lieberman (2003). Former 2000 Democratic VP nominee Joe Lieberman and his wife avoid any risk of controversy and offer a politically safe recounting in diary form of the campaign that does double duty as a preview of the centerpiece themes of his 2004 run at the presidency. Readers expecting either in-depth policy analysis or gossipy insider info about the 2000 presidential election will have to look elsewhere. This narrative begins when Joe learns he is on the short list of candidates and continues through the wrenching loss of Florida's electoral votes. The Liebermans alternate impressions, sometimes each describing the same event. Hadassah's view is the more novel, as she describes how the scrutiny that follows elevation to the national stage takes over her wardrobe, her personal routines and her natural voice as she is encouraged and cajoled by her campaign staff to "stay on message." The Liebermans are observant Jews, and their discussions on the role of religion in their lives and in American politics are also thoughtful. List: $25.00. Your Price: $17.50 (You Save 30%)!
