Summary: Very readable (and inspiring, too)
Comment: I found this book to be a fascinating way to look at 20th century American history through the prism of a very inspiring man's life. It was also pretty interesting to get the inside scoop on some of the personalities and behind-the-scenes maneuverings that shaped major events in our nation's history. What was maybe most interesting to me, though, was the thoughtful way the book explored what it was like for Shriver being sort-of-but-not-quite a Kennedy. Both the book and Shriver himself are inspiring. It seems like they don't make people like him anymore!

Summary: a returned Peace Corps Volunteer
Comment: When I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal in the 1960s, Sarge Shriver was one of my heroes. This eloquent book makes him even more of a hero, a passionate idealistic citizen who has made a difference in so many arenas in American life. In a time when Americans view their leaders with such mistrust, this is an esssential book and a guide to how a good man can change the world without losing his goodness.

Summary: Fascinating read!
Comment: I have to say I was a little daunted by the size of the book but I quite literally could not put it down. Sargent Shriver is a truly great American, and Stossel tells his story in a compelling way. In addition, I feel as though I had a whole new insight into the historical period from the 1930s though the 1980s as seen through Shriver's life.
