"Al Gore has made a lasting legacy upon the nation and world through his leadership in public service within the US Government, as an environmental activist in the fight against the climate crisis, and as business leader in the public sector with Apple, Google and Current TV. His rise to world prominence has been a long journey, but it all came into focus in 1976 in Carthage, Tennessee, when Gore made his first run for public office. That same year, author Troy Gipson met Gore during a campaign stop, a chance encounter that has lasted to this day and provided Mr. Gipson with rare and unfettered access to one of the most influential figures in modern American politics.

Having known, watched, and worked with Mr. Gore from 1976, Gipson provides profound insights not only into the politician and Vice President who won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on climate change; but also the man himself: his motivations, his character, and his insatiable desire to make a difference on the country and world.
