What sort of a man is Al Gore? What's his real political
record? This is the first unsparing look at the man whom his parents
raised from birth to be president of the United States. Inside
these pages, you will find:"This fine book masterfully catalogs the awfulness that is Al Gore - every lie, every exaggeration, every rhetorical trick, every betrayal. If you already don't like Gore, this user's manual will remind you of why, and probably tell you a lot of things you didn't already know. If you're thinking of voting for him, it might change your mind, by showing that the "lesser evil" is still evil. If the Gore campaign were smart, they'd buy up every copy and pulp the lot of them, but fortunately they're not that smart."
Doug Henwood
author of Wall Street"Al Gore: A User's Manual is...a pitiless requisitory of broken promises, bent principles, sentimental exploitation of family calamities (including his sister's death), careerist back-stroking and shameless favour trading."
The Economist

"Al Gore: A User's Manual, a steal at 23 bucks, lets it rip for 284 pages, covering everything from Gore's exploitation of his family's tragedies to his brokered vote in favor of the Gulf War."
