Editorial Reviews

From the Great Asian Americans series (5 titles) comes this attractive, if brief, biography of Duckworth, currently a U.S. senator from Illinois. . . .The book captures the audience’s attention with full-color photographs that face each page of short text, especially pictures of Duckworth with artificial legs, rehabbing or standing to take the oath of office. . . .A basic introduction to a unique personality.
