Summary: ...I'll agree with my friends on this one
Comment: After reading Howard Dean's political biography, I decided to read this book, which was compiled by a team of reporters from Vermont who have been following his career. Although I found nothing of earth-shattering significance, the book did provide a bit more background for the themes covered in the political biography.
As Dean suddenly appeared on the presidential campaign radar, he evidently appeared on the Vermont political radar. Leading up to his stints as governor, Dean was not widely known in his own state. Politicians and reporters alike seemed caught unawares by this rise in the political ranks.
As governor, he received kudos and complaints. This book provides some of the problems with getting particular legislation going and some of the fallout, which his book did not have. The creation of civil unions legislation is one such example as is his environmental record.
This leads to my problem with the book. The book's intent is to inform us about Dean rather than persuade us one way or the other. In a few articles, the writer takes the time to quote as many pro-Dean people as anti-Dean people. Even though I feel good about being empowered to choose my own path, I would like to have seen the writer's stance stated more aggressively.
I would recommend this book for those wanted to know a bit more about Dean or those who wish to "fill out" what they've read in the political biography.

Summary: Great overview of Howard Dean
Comment: This is the place to go if you want to learn more about who Howard Dean is and what his key policies were in his 11 years as governor of Vermont. This is a serious look at Dean's policies and his personality and it examines these issues in a critical light. It helps explain how a governor from a small rural New England state has emerged as a leading Democratic presidential candidate. This is not a glowing pro Dean campaign book but instead is a thoughtful review of the Dean record and how it affects his presidential campaign. It is a must read for anyone who wants to better understand what makes Howard Dean tick !

Summary: Vermont journalists know Dean best
Comment: This book is very interesting, because it isn't a fluff piece.
The Vermont journalists who wrote the chapters know who
Dean is, and how he behaved in times of crisis.
I don't agree with all of Dean's positions, but after reading
the book I know what kind of man he is. He would
be a great President.
