It's a classic American odyssey: his parents left Cuba for a better economic life in Miami a few years before Castro came to power; the father worked as a bartender, the mother as a maid and then a stock clerk at Kmart. The small but tough Rubio made the football team, became an expert on the Miami Dolphins, and raced to begin a political career minutes after graduating from law school. By 2010, he had become the youngest-ever and the first Hispanic Speaker of the Florida Statehouse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As Mike Huckabee likes to say, \"Rubio is our Barack Obama with substance.\" Rubio has the endurance, smarts, and charisma to be a presence on the American political scene for years to come. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and documents, Roig-Franzia shows how Rubio cultivated a knack for apprenticing himself to the right mentor, learning the issues, and volunteering for tough political jobs that made him shine. \u003ci\u003eThe Rise of Marco Rubio\u003c\/i\u003e is, \"a rewarding read, giving valuable insight into this young man in a hurry\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Daily Beast\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45135623487639,"sku":"9781451675467","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781451675467.webp?v=1767146572","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-rise-of-marco-rubio-9781451675467","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
