Summary: A thoroughly captivating and sentimental autobiography!
Comment: James G. Abourezk, a former United States Senator from South Dakota (1973-1979), has enlightened us with his autobiographical account of the motivating experiences in his life. A prominent dissenter in the political mainstream, Abourezk recounts his early years growing up in South Dakota, the son of Lebanese immigrants. From early on, he championed the causes of the underprivileged, having been raised near a Sioux reservation.

Abourezk reflects his encounters and adventures which made him an ardent supporter of issues which would make him be branded as a "troublemaker" years later in the United Staes Senate. He supported American Indian causes, labor rights, civil rights, Palestinian national rights, and environmental concerns, causes which sometimes were at odds with his liberal supporters.

I recommend this book because it is an inspirational account of living the "American dream." Abourezk's determination and enthusiasm of making a difference is well presented in this captivating autobiography.
