Chuck Hagel: Moving Forward by Charlyne Berens

“How could the onetime toast of the GOP have fallen so far, and what are the chances that Hagel will run for president in 2008 in the face of so many obstacles? In her new book, Chuck Hagel: Moving Forward, University of Nebraska at Lincoln journalism professor Charlyne Berens attempts to answer those questions with a sympathetic portrait of a public figure who is immensely appealing and astute, yet the architect of his own political frustrations.” —The Washington Post

“Readers keeping an eye on the next presidential election will appreciate this profile of a possible contender.”—Booklist

“[A] fascinating and complex portrait. In Hagel’s
case, such a portrait is indeed timely.”—Nebraska
