Where the Evidence Leads
de Dick Thornburgh · Publicada por primera vez en 2003
"Perhaps best known as the attorney general who returned respectability to the office in the late 1980s, Dick Thornburgh has been a key participant in and observer of American political and legal life for more than three decades. In Where the Evidence Leads he candidly reveals the joys, frustrations, mistakes, and accomplishments of his career in public service." "In 1964, frustrated that the radical right threatened to take over the Republican Party - to its detriment - Thornburgh, then a lawyer in downtown Pittsburgh, began complaining to anyone who would listen about the problems with the GOP. When finally challenged to do something about it, he set out on a course that would ultimately take him to the highest corridors of power in the United States." "A strong proponent of civil rights and racial equality; a tireless spokesman for the GOP tenets of the individual, the free-enterprise system, fiscal responsibility, strong state and local governments, and a combination of toughness and compassion at home and abroad; a strict adherent to the overriding importance of the rule of law; these are but some of the ways Dick Thornburgh defines himself and his life in Where the Evidence Leads."--Jacket.
