About the Book

In late August 2004 the Republicans were celebrating the nomination of incumbent George W. Bush for another term as president. In the midst of the festivities, Chuck Hagel, the senator from Nebraska, was telling reporters the Republican Party had "come loose of its moorings." This was a bold position for someone identified by the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Boston Globe as a prospective 2008 presidential candidate but not surprising for a Republican senator who had recently remarked that the occupation of Iraq was poorly planned and had encouraged the spread of terror cells throughout the world. Who is Chuck Hagel, what is his story, and is he a genuine player on the national political stage? Charlyne Berens sets out to answer these questions in her close and careful look at one of the most interesting and independent figures on the current American political scene. Having survived a tour of duty in Vietnam and having made a fortune as a pioneer in the cellular phone industry, Chuck Hagel came out of nowhere to beat a popular sitting governor in a race for the U.S. Senate in 1996.Berens delves into Hagel's quick rise to national recognition and influence and examines the background that has led Hagel to an outspoken internationalism that often puts him at odds with his own party and president. This complex, plain-spoken Nebraskan may be on his way to the White House. Charlyne Berens explains why and how. Charlyne Berens is a professor of journalism at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She is the author of One House: The Unicameral's Progressive Vision for Nebraska (Nebraska 2005) and Power to the People: Social Choice and the Populist/Progressive Ideal.
