I stalled a bit on this, but I want to finish it. Quite fascinating so far, and he hasn't entered any public office yet. :-)

Yes, I agree. He had amazing tenacity and persistence. To be honest I took a break from the book for a long time because there was so much happening in real life surrounding the presidential election that I set it aside in favor of reading stuff that better served as escapism. :-) That said, I am still really enjoying the book now that I have picked it up again.

I get that. Modern history isn't much for escapism. I have my seasons as well. Sometimes, I can't read books like this: other times, I read about 'great people' for hope and inspiration in the face of mediocrity and foolishness.
