"Unafraid" lays out a compelling answer, rich with the public adventures and private dramas of 20th Century icons--J. Edgar Hoover, Martin Luther King, Fidel Castro, Golda Meir, the Beatles--played out on a transformed world stage. At the center of this parallel history is a leader who blows the sides out of conventional politics with a simple belief: a primary reason that idealistic goals are "impossible" to achieve is that we needlessly decide that they're impossible to achieve. With a tiny imaginary spin of history's wheel, "Unafraid" opens the gates to an America of realistic hope and possibility.

He was the target of an unsuccessful recall campaign while working in government. That experience directly informed the writing of this book., Hellgate Press, 2009, 3<
