According to an AP story in the Post-Tribune, Indiana governor Mitch Daniels indicates many other pols have really sad and self-serving reasons to pen memories but he does not.
He discussed his book, “Keeping the Republic“ on C-Span’s Washington Journal in August.
“Despite a long involvement with public life, I have read very few books by public officials, past or present…judging by the ones I have read, many are written to justify the authors’ actions or, worse, to settle personal scores. Others aim to embellish the authors’ role or proximity to major events, and still others are thinly veiled exercises in self-advertisement,” Daniels writes.
