From the summary, it sounds pretty interesting.

One thing that hit me from the summary is that it is amazing that he is revered as much as he is from todays Republicans.
"compromised with Democratic lawmakers to pass a moderate budget, welfare reform, and a bill legalizing abortion" , "he raised taxes when had to, despite vowing to cut them", "he even backed a gun-control bill named in honor of his press secretary"...

He sounds like he wouldn't get through today's primaries.
