Longstreet Press Atlanta, Georgia 2000 Foreword by Jimmy Carter. [10], 260, [2] p.: Twelve in-text illustrations; 19.5 cm. (7.75 inches). Black cloth, with orange-stamped spine title. Glossy, illustrated black, white and gilt dust jacket, with front section black and white photograph of Hamilton Jordan by his wife Dorothy Jordan and back section black and white photograph of the Jordan family by Anne Carr. Includes Sources For Information For Cancer Patients (Jordan had prostate cancer that he discussed in the book), Acknowledgments, and A Note on Sources. Dark brown endpapers. Part memoir, part cancer survivor story, this moving book recounts the adventures and personal struggles of former White House chief-of-staff Hamilton Jordan. Jordan's life, like that of the fictional hero Forrest Gump, has echoed the collective national experience of his generation on many levels: from his youth in the Civil Rights-era South, to his tour as a civilian volunteer in Vietnam, to his tumultuous years in Washington, D.C., serving with idealism under Democratic president Jimmy Carter" [from the dust jacket]
