"Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump's GOP, Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president's supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection. Despite these moments of public courage, Romney has shared very little about what he's witnessed behind the scenes. Now, this in-depth portrait shows a public servant authentically wrestling with the choices he has made over his career"-- Back cover.
