An account of Mitt Romney's life. Based on dozens of exclusive interviews with Romney, his family, and his inner circle as well as hundreds of pages of his personal journals, this book offers a rare, portrait of a politician who in recent years has been at the center of our nation's most defining political dramas.
A scoop-rich biography released on the heels of his Senate retirement announcement ... Coppins gained extraordinary access to Romney’s private journals, texts and emails and was granted hours of interviews with Romney over two years. The tell-all details gush forth ... Many readers will come for the juicy scoops and score-settling, but the book also tries to do something more important: Coppins raises probing questions about how much Republicans like Romney were complicit in the rise of Trump.
Revealing ... In many ways a straightforward biography, but it has the intimacy of a small subgenre of political confessions ... The depicted 'reckoning' is actually lifelong and, more important, something that has always been made from within.
