Trade ReviewA marvelous retelling of the American story, including the people in Tommy Thompson's life and hometown. When I was the Speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, he and I were friendly adversaries. He wanted all the votes, but cared about people and focused on the important issues."" - Tom Loftus, former U.S. Ambassador to Norway
