UNLIMITED PARTNERS: Our American STory - Hardcover

In their quest to become the next First Couple, Bob and Elizabeth Dole have written the story of their lives, from his childhood during the Depression to his long-seated political career (with an emphasis on his military service), from her days in the Harvard Law School to her presidency of the Red Cross (with an emphasis on her scrutiny of the proper role of a First Lady). This book is particularly notable because Mr. Dole seems to have finally discovered the first person!

Unlimited Partners: Our American Autobiography is the joint autobiography of Bob and Elizabeth Dole, Washington's most active and powerful couple, whose next challenge may be the White House. Their story provides an extraordinary look at Washington life at the highest levels as well as an account of a marriage that has thrived in the pressure cooker of Capital Hill and on the campaign trail. Together, the Doles reveal the beliefs that fuel their remarkable accomplishments and their visit for tomorrow's' America. Here is the story of two people who became successful through their own hard work and perseverance. In his own voice, Bob Dole recounts his boyhood in Kansas, his service in World War II, his courageous recovery from wounds that almost cost him his life, his extensive political career, and his successful fight for the 1996 Republican presidential nomination. Equally stirring is Elizabeth Dole's account of a career that has taken her from the halls of male-dominated Harvard Law School to the Cabinet table of two Presidents and to the presidency of America's largest humanitarian organization, the Red Cross, which she has made a groundbreaking decision to continue to serve as president should she become First Lady. Together, the Doles provide behind-the-scenes observations of those who have shaped the history of our times and show how they themselves have made government-and their marriage-work. A personal view of two remarkable people, Unlimited Partners is not just a timely story of politics, but a tale of courage and triumph.
