Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
As a Democrat, I haven't made up my mind yet about the [upcoming] election—-but I do think it's time people got over their prejudices and found out who Mitt Romney really is. Turner and Field's book deals candidly with all the tough questions, and gives you full information so you can make up your own mind. That's something we aren't getting from the national media.

Orson Scott Card, award-winning author of The Ender's Game series.

Read an Excerpt

Every election season brings its share of disputes, scandals, and controversies. This is nothing new. Andrew Jackson was smeared with charges that he was an adulterer, a murderer, and a bigamist during his presidential run in the early nineteenth century. Sadly, Jackson's wife died between the election and the inauguration. Jackson believed her death resulted from the vitriol of the attacks. He never forgave his opponent.

    This is an excellent book!!

    If you're not sure if you want to vote for Mitt Romney, you have to read this book. The book tells about Mitt Romney's past and what made him what he is today. I'm sooooo glad I bought this book. I'm even going to buy paper copies to share it with the people at work. I'm glad B&N had it for my Nook.

    Helps to understand him

    It is OK, may help readers decide who to vote for in GOP primary. Will he
    be able to get the nomination time will tell. He is an example of what an
    American can accomplish through honest hard work and should be able to enjoy his wealth without criticism.
