A Political Odyssey

In this candid portrait, former two-term senator from Alaska and 2008 presidential candidate Gravel expounds on his views of the military-industrial complex, the imperial presidency, postwar US foreign policy, and corporate America; critically assesses figures he worked with, such as Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy; and reveals the private life behind the public persona. When he isn t being actively silenced, Senator Gravel s voice is generally acknowledged to be the most refreshing and honest of all the 2008 presidential candidates.
