Time Present, Time Past: A Memoir Hardcover January 16, 1996--A superb memoir that concludes with an exciting vision of what this country can be, Time Present, Time Past recounts a classic American journey. Former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley speaks with affection about his small-town upbringing, traces the road he took through professional sports to public service, and vividly brings to life the world of a U.S. senator. BOOK REVIEW; I have read a number of political books & memoirs, and I think I can count the times I chuckled on one hand. Until I picked up Mr. Bradley's wonderful, engaging, self-depricating, insightful "Time Present, Time Past." Now, I am not saying that it is a laugh-a-minute book. Not at all. It just has the tone of reading a particularly well-written letter from a friend. Bradley is candid about his own faults, refreshingly direct about his political views and his mistakes. The structure of the text is interesting--it is non-linear, which makes it even more compelling. It takes the reader through a free-association voyage on the 1992 campaign trail, learning tidbits about Bradley and politics all the way. But the real reason to read this book is not because Bill Bradley is funny (which he is) or because he can craft a good turn of phrase (which he can) or because he is interesting (which he is). The real reason is that this book is about the essence of what American politics could be, if everyone were even half as excited as Bill Bradley. His absolute integity and leadership shine through every page of the book. Highly recommended., Alfred A. Knopf, 1996, 3<

From the Dust Jacket: "In a memoir at once deeply felt, lively, and astute, Bill Bradley talks about his life, his country, his role in government, and his hopes for the American future. He speaks with affection about his small-town Missouri upbringing and the values shaped by it. He traces his road from childhood to Princeton to Oxford to ten years of professional basketball to public service in the U.S. Senate. And he brings vividly alive the world of a senator -- the rocky road to legislation, the invasiveness of the media, the power of money. He tells us stories of scoundrels and heroes, of celebrated political figures past and present, and unheralded citizens. [It] is a book about life, filled with humor, moral lessons, and empathy for the human condition. Above all, it is a book about America, and in it, Americans will see themselves. Bill Bradley was a three-time basketball All-American at Princeton, an Olympic gold medalist, a Rhodes scholar, and a professional basketball player for ten years with the New York Knicks. Elected to the Senate from New Jersey in 1978. 1984, and 1990." . Signed by the Author (signature only). First Edition (so stated). Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket.
