Mario Cuomo

A personal, behind-the-scenes look at a Democratic iconGovernor Mario Cuomo s life and accomplishments are part of the public record, but in Mario Cuomo: Remembrances of a Remarkable Man, William O Shaughnessy gives readers an exclusive and a deeply personal, behind-the-scenes look at the liberal Democratic icon. This poignant memoir, based on the author s thirty-eight-year friendship with Governor Cuomo, portrays the spiritual journey of a man who played many roles: inspirational political leader, moral compass, spellbinding orator, gifted author, legal scholar, and loving father and grandfather. He was, in O Shaughnessy s words, one of the most articulate and graceful public men of the twentieth century.
