Riveting
In his usual laconic, ah-shucks kind of way, Sen. Bob Dole tells the story of his life, the real reason he says his parents and Russell, Kansas were the great influences on his life and means it. The story is harrowing without being maudlin, the recovery nothing short of amazing. So is the man.

So, so.
I wanted to love this book, I really did. The first half was engaging but, I had to push myself to get to the end. Dole's life is certainly filled with accomplishment and courage, it just seemed to me that his editors might have been more mindful of the pacing. Far too often, this book plods.

Outstanding!
Literally just ten minutes ago I finishied Bob Dole's amazing piece of work. You get a front seat into his story that will impact you and make you aprecaite even more what the 'Great Generation' went through and had to overcome as a result. This is no way is a political book or particin work. It is simply a personal memoir that we can ALL enjoy and gain inspiration from.

A GREAT BOOK BY AND ABOUT AN AMERICAN LEGEND
Senator Bob Dole is one of the great leaders of our time. His very well written and inspirational book sheds much light on his upbrining as well as his trials and tribulations that have lead him to be who he is today. Dole is a true American Legend as well as Hero.

SOLDIER OF FREEDOM
I WAS SO THRILLED FOR SEN DOLE TO FINALLY WRITE HIS WORLD WAR 2 MEMOIRS. I HAVE OFTEN READ ABOUT HIS BRAVERY WITH THE 10TH MOUNTAIN DIVISION AND HIS DECORATIONS AND HIS SERVICE TO HIS COUNTRY AND HIS CALL TO FREEDOM. I HOPE THAT EVERYONE WILL READ ABOUT HIS BOOK THIS IS A GREAT INSPIRATION OF HOPE FOR A GREAT SOLDIER.

Inspirational
I picked the book up after a review from former Senator Bob Kerrey in the Boston Globe. I decided to read a few chapters, couldn't put it down. It such an inspirational book. I really never knew just how bad his WWII injuries were and what it took to overcome them. It's a must read.
