Basic Brown by Willie L. Brown, Jr. 1.03

Basic Brown
Willie L. Brown, Jr.
Simon & Schuster
February 5, 2008

To The Washington Post , hes "The Last Political Showman of the 20th Century." Bill Clinton has called him "the real Slick Willie." Ronald Reagans secretary of state George Shultz called this famously liberal politician "a man of his word" and endorsed his successful candidacy for mayor of San Francisco. Indeed Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton both called upon him for advice and help. He is Willie L. Brown, Jr., and he knows how to get things done in politics, how to work both sides of the aisle to get results. Compared to him, Machiavelli looks meek. And drab. In Basic Brown , this product of rural, segregated Texas and the urban black neighborhoods of San Francisco tells how he rose through the civil rights movement to become the most potent black politician in America through his shrewd understanding and use of political power and political money. If you ever wanted to learn how to be slick, a shark, a do-gooder, and a man of your word, Willie L. Brown, Jr., is the storyteller for you.
