Drawing on documents, letters, and interviews with more than three hundred people, including six lengthy conversations with the vice president, the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter David Maraniss and Ellen Nakashima look closely at the forces that have shaped Gore's life and career to explore the man behind the contradictory public persona. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Beginning with Gore's earliest years--when this son of a senator was torn between elite Washington and rural Tennessee--one is struck by the image of a young American prince burdened by expectations of his likely political fate.
