"Neil Giuliano is an American gay rights hero. His personal story, beautifully told in his memoir, is an often dramatic tale about the darkness and fear of the closet and the light and freedom of coming out-to family, friends, voters and most of all to yourself. It is a story about politics, media, gay rights, and most of all, about integrity. The Campaign Within is a landslide winner." -Richard Socarides, former Special Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor, The White House, Administration of President Bill Clinton. "A shockingly honest memoir; I was riveted by Neil's transformation from secretive politician to proud advocate." -Marc Cherry, Creator and Executive Producer, Desperate Housewives "It's a challenge and blessing to be a pioneer, and Neil plumbs aspects of this unenviable role in his engaging and highly readable memoir. I've known Neil as a colleague, but knew few details of his full story. The Campaign Within is enthralling and left me grateful to know him as a friend and fellow activist." -Kate Kendell, Executive Director, National Center for Lesbian Rights "Neil Giuliano has crafted a story about conscience, integrity, and the importance of living one's truth. His journey has taken him to the heights of political power and through the minefields of the entertainment industry. With unsparing honesty and unexpected humor, he lays down a blueprint for living life in the public eye without sacrificing self-respect or authenticity. -William Mann, best selling author of Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn
