Beskrivning
What does a person need to learn before they can survive as the vice president under a tumultuous administration? How do you continue to honor the laws and the constitution of the country in the face of increasingly vitriolic partisan politics? Mike Pence's vice presidency of the United States wasn't always easy. To some, he is the personification of American conservative values, but to others, his ideals are the epitome of prejudice and bigotry. In Pence: The Path to Power, journalist Andrea Neal showcases how the vice president arrived at this position of influence. Neal interviews friends, family, staff, former teachers, and politicians on both sides of the aisle to reveal a multifaceted view of the self-described Christian, Conservative, and Republican–in that order–from his beginnings in a large Irish Catholic family in Columbus, Indiana, through the scandals of his first election, to his time beside Donald Trump. This candid look at Mike Pence's life exposes his unexpected path to power and the individuals who influenced him along the way.

Recensioner i media

Political junkies will learn some new facts and stories about Pence and gain a historical perspective missing for even those who were in the middle of the political action. . . . Neal sticks to the facts, yet in a way that yields insights and perspective.(Indianapolis Star) The result is a look at Mike Pence's rise to prominence that is as close as we will get to his view of his climb until he writes his own memoirs.(NUVO) A good overview of the path the politically ambitious Pence took to get to his current position.(USA Today) Balancing out these two highly divergent portraits, Pence: The Path to Power by Andrea Neal—based on interviews with Pence's family, friends, staff, and other politicians, both allies and foes—paints a more nuanced picture.(Publishers Weekly) What one gets from Neal's work is a greater sense of who Pence is, not just what he is. Few public figures are as outspoken and consistent in char- acter, while remaining truly enigmatic to the people whom they serve.- Laura Merrifield Wilson (Indiana Magazine of History)
