A legendary Senator advises our next President on the commonsense values necessary to lead our nation. The longest-serving member of the United States Senate, Byrd has served the people of West Virginia for 54 years. From his unique vantage point, Byrd focuses his observations on underappreciated virtues like personal responsibility, careful consideration before making decisions, and a sense of decency and fairness even toward fierce opponents. Enlightened by a wide-ranging knowledge of American history and a love for the guiding principles of the Constitution, Byrd's observations sharpen the focus of the historical moment in which we find ourselves.--From publisher description.
