PositiveThe Wall Street JournalThese days, both Democrats and Republicans—goaded by the controversies surrounding high tech and by other familiar objections to corporate conduct—seem to revile corporations.

PositiveThe Wall Street Journal... an illuminating biographical portrait of Mr. Baker, one that describes the arc of his career and, along the way, tells us something about how executive power is wielded in the nation’s capital ... comprehensive ... thanks in part to the authors’ dozens of meetings and hours of conversation with their subject, often has the feel of a novel related by an omniscient narrator. The book is far from hagiography, but Mr. Baker is often allowed to communicate his perspective, clearly and comprehensively—the very approach that helped him succeed so spectacularly during his long and impressive run in politics.
