Summary:  "Reflections on an American life, from Maine to the U.S. Senate, from baseball to Disney, from Northern Ireland to the Middle East"-- Jacket. "Enlightening stories from former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell about growing up in Maine, his years in the Senate, attempting to bring peace to Northern Ireland and the Middle East, and what he's learned about the art of negotiation. It's a classic story of the American Dream. George Mitchell grew up in a working class family in Maine, experiencing firsthand the demoralizing effects of unemployment when his father was laid off from a lifelong job. But education was always a household priority, and Mitchell embraced every opportunity that came his way, eventually becoming the ranking Democrat in the Senate during the administrations of George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Senator Mitchell's memoir reveals many insights into the art of negotiation. Mitchell looks back at his adventures in law and politics - including instrumental work on clean air and water legislation, the Iran-Contra hearings, and healthcare reform - as well as life after the Senate, from the Northern Ireland peace process, to serving as chairman of The Walt Disney Company, to heading investigations into the use of steroids in baseball and unethical activity surrounding the Olympic Games. George J. Mitchell served as a Democratic senator from Maine from 1980 to 1995 and Senate majority leader from 1989 to 1995."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Autobiographies.
