About the Book

Born in a paper mill town in Maine's western foothills, Muskie was one of six children of a Polish immigrant and a Polish-American mother whose English was worse than her husband's. His arc through his formative years was singular and unpredictable, an American story that looks plausible only in hindsight. Commemorating the centenary of his birth, this biography of Ed Muskie through his two terms as Maine's governor tells how the son of an immigrant tailor grew up to become one of the most consequential politicians in American history.

Review :
I enjoyed this book on several levels. The intimate portrait of Ed Muskie's life is entertaining. The behind the scenes look at his emergence as a state and national leader is fascinating. And the insights into how his ideas shaped our country and our lives is inspiring.--Bill Green, host of "Bill Green's Maine" WCSH6 I've always been fascinated with Ed Muskie and how this son of an immigrant tailor from rural Maine rose to national and international leadership. This important book provides hugely valuable insights into that question and paints a rich portrait of one of the great leaders of the twentieth century.--Senator Angus King" This book brings the real Ed Muskie to life and gives us a chance to understand why he is one of the greatest Mainers ever. While growing up in a northern Maine mill town, I saw Senator Muskie as a larger-than-life role model, and I still do. His fight for cleaner water and air inspired me to run for the legislature to try to clean up the Penobscot River. Congratulations to Jim Witherell for this excellent telling of Ed Muskie's rise to be Maine's governor.--Congressman Mike Michaud"
