PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
"Dennis Kucinich is an author and statesman, serving 16 years in the US Congress and was twice a candidate for President. During his term as Cleveland Mayor (1977-1979) the Fraternal Order of Eagles recognized him as ""The Outstanding Public Official in America."" In recent years the Washington Post Magazine called Kucinich ""the future of American politics."" ""Ahead of his time,"" declared Rolling Stone Magazine. Gore Vidal called Kucinich's writing ""as good as Theodore Dreiser's."" Ralph Nader favorably compares Kucinich's writing with the legendary muckraking journalist, Lincoln Steffens. The Division of Light and Power melds Kucinich's writing excellence with undisputable documentary power and the moral code of a leader who cannot be corrupted."
PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - SEYMOUR M. HERSCH This is a Rocky story about a kid from the wrong side of the tracks who, as a young mayor, took on the power structure of one of America's most corrupt cities and won the battle. PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - CHRIS HEDGES The Division of Light and Power, like Robert Caro's The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York, is a gripping, moving and lucidly written account of the hidden mechanisms of corporate power in the United States and what happens when these corporate interests are challenged. It is essential reading, especially as we face an intensified corporate assault, done in the name of fiscal necessity, to seize total control of all public assets. As Dennis Kucinich warns, this assault is more than the seizure of public assets for private gain. These corporate forces, which function as a shadow government in Washington and cities across the country, now threaten to extinguish our anemic democracy. The Division of Light and Power is destined to become a classic text for those who seek to understand what took place to the United States in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The epic struggle of a youthful mayor against a predatory utility company is a real-life municipal thriller. Dennis Kucinich's tale of political violence and intrigue is a cross between The Godfather and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. He took on the fat cats on behalf of the City of Cleveland. He stared them down and won one for the good guys. - Geraldo Rivera The Division of Light and Power offers the inside story of historic events, while also implicitly taking us to the real time of the present; there is no more relevant book to read in 2021. Dennis Kucinich has written a vivid page-turner that's a political barn-burner. It reads like a novel, but it's not based on a true story -- it is a true story -- with meticulous devotion to facts, real political paradigms, and the human heart. - Norman Soloman - Executive Director, Institute for Public Accuracy Skillfully written, emotionally nuanced page-turner. Kucinich ultimately gives power to the people! Kenneth A. Carlson - Filmmaker A real life, David vs. Goliath story, of one man taking on powerful corporations and political interests... An engaging and powerful read that today is more relevant than ever. Joe Trippi, Noted Presidential Campaign Adviser
