Reflections on an American Life from Maine to the U.S. Senate, from Baseball to Disney, from Northern Ireland to the Middle East. George Mitchell rose from modest small-town origins to become one of the most respected and accomplished leaders in America--a man whose integrity and skills as a problem solver have been sought in politics, business, and even by Major League Baseball. George Mitchell, as the Senate majority leader, and Bob Dole, the Senate Minority Leader, established one of the most productive bipartisan relationships in recent Senate history. Derived from a Kirkus review: A former U.S. Democratic senator for Maine and Presidential Medal of Freedom winner revisits significant moments in his long public and private life. Mitchell was Senate majority leader (1989-1995) and left that body in 1995 to see more of his family and to pursue some other challenges, from baseball to Northern Ireland. He begins with family background, telling a few childhood anecdotes that seem well-polished by campaign repetition. He had an influential high school English teacher who gave him Steinbeck to read. He worked his way through Bowdoin College, joined ROTC and entered the pre-Vietnam-era military, working in Berlin for the Office of Security. Then came law school and politics, where he fell under the sway of Sen. Ed Muskie, who subsequently became an ardent supporter of Mitchell's career. The author's segments on his political doings veer back and forth between detailed accounts of various legislative activities and lines that seem lifted from his stump speeches. Mitchell blasts Oliver North for lying during the Iran-Contra controversy, crows a bit about the benefits he was able to gain for Maine, and rails about the demands of fundraising. Following his Senate career, he took on numerous assignments-ranging from the thankless to the intractable-including Northern Ireland, Disney (where he served on the board of directors), the Salt Lake City Olympics, the baseball drug scandals, and the Middle East, where he-like everyone else-failed to negotiate a deal for a Palestinian state. He ends with a chapter about negotiating.
