The many facets of Tommy G. Thompson—small-town grocer's son, brash campaigner with a common touch, shrewd political strategist, savvy policy wonk, and ebullient promoter of Wisconsin—come across vividly in these pages. Thompson, with journalist Doug Moe, traces his journey from boyhood to politics to the world stage, including his unprecedented four terms as Wisconsin governor, his service as a cabinet secretary under President George W. Bush, and his continuing work in global efforts to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.Personal and revealing stories punctuate the biographical details and policy discussions. Here is Tommy as a young man, just happening to be on the National Mall in 1964 when Dr. Martin Luther King told the nation ""I have a dream."" Here is Tommy as Wisconsin governor, struggling to start a Harley-Davidson motorcycle before leading ""a pack of Hell's Republicans"" on a ride through the state. Here is Tommy in Washington after the 9/11 attacks, slipping out of a secure bunker (in defiance of orders) to aid the emergency medical response.Thompson speaks candidly of his achievements and regrets, including his involvement with welfare reform, school choice, land conservancy, prisons, the financing of Miller Park, stem cell research, and health insurance.
"Do you know what I keep thinking? When I get out of here, I'm going to find a tall tree with a beautiful view. I'm going to climb that tree and bring a bottle of vodka with me. I don't think about what happens next, I just get really drunk up there." It was the most bizarre notion, but I meant it. I genuinely wanted to do it. I looked at Tommy and wasn't afraid of what he might be thinking. I felt I could tell him anything. "When you find that tree..." He looked back at me, our knees now touching under the table. "Call me."Opening the doors to her past, Ana Romanova writes an astounding memoir chroniclinglife in a cult, falling in love with an "outsider," and turning into a fugitive when she does the unthinkable-runs away with the military.

John Taliaferro Thompson had a mission: to develop a lightweight, fast-firing weapon that would help Americans win on the battlefield. His Thompson submachine gun could deliver a hundred bullets in a matter of seconds but didn't find a market in the U.S. military. Instead, the Tommy gun became the weapon of choice for a generation of bootleggers and bank-robbing outlaws, and became a deadly American icon. Following a bloody decade and eighty years before the mass shootings of our own time Congress moved to take this weapon off the streets, igniting a national debate about gun control. Critically-acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal, author of Bootleg: Murder, Moonshine, and the Lawless Years of Prohibition and Six Days in October: The Stock Market Crash of 1929, reveals the fascinating story of this famous and deadly weapon of the lives it changed, the debate it sparked, and the unprecedented response it inspired in Tommy: The Gun That Changed America."
