"Fred Harris has long practiced politics that really matters (what I call 'politics with hair on it'), daring to challenge the powers that be on behalf of the powers that ought to be: workaday people who are being knocked down and held down by the privileged few. So meet this guy who's had the guts, moral stamina, and sense of humor to keep battling the big shots, bastards, and bullshitters for decades, laughing all the way! His memoir is both the tao of Fred and a joyous romp through his lifetime of real politics done right."–Progressive populist Democrat Jim Hightower
