""The Good Fight" is Walter Mondale's personal story and the story
of more than half a century of progressive politics, of its
victories and defeats in the search for civil rights, social
justice, and economic opportunity for all Americans. Walter Mondale
is the best kind of public man - intelligent, honest, hard-working,
effective. It's rare to find a man so good and wise who's also
funny as can be. Whatever your own politics, if you love your
country, you should read this book." -President Bill Clinton
"An illuminating memoir by a notably decent, thoughtful, genuine,
likeable and underestimated American leader. Walter Mondale offers
a memorable, sometimes surprising account of vanished worlds--a
prewar country boyhood, the liberal farmer-labor politics of old
Minnesota, a U.S. Senate in which collegiality was not an epithet,
with intriguing glimpses of figures like Lyndon Johnson, Hubert
Humphrey, Robert Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy--as well as a fresh
and revealing look at life with President Jimmy Carter and
Mondale's own campaign for the White House. One cannot read this
volume without reflecting on how much our political culture has
changed, and by no means entirely for the better." --Michael
Beschloss
"Fritz Mondale and I worked side by side in the White House through
four intense years of challenges and left office with a friendship
that would last a lifetime. We were also able to tell the American
people: "We told the truth, we obeyed the law, we kept the peace."
This memoir is a compelling history of those years and of the life
of the remarkable man I know Fritz to be." --President Jimmy Carter
