“This book was intended not only as a personal reflection, but also as a tribute to the South that my father served and loved, a South that was reaching beyond its past, toward a brighter and more inclusive future. I hope that with this new edition, souls may be shaken anew, and the glory may be unleashed for a new generation of seekers, idealists, and servants of the people.”—Al Gore

the book

In a story reminiscent of an old gospel tune heard from a deep woods church in Tennessee, Let The Glory Out, by Albert Gore, Sr., is at once a telling acoount of a life spent in politics helping to shape many of the most significant moments of the twentieth century, and a rare glimpse into the private life of a legendary political family committed to public service. In a refreshingly candid and lively discussion, a picture of Gore, Sr. emerges as a tireless advocate for social change who stuck to principle and never backed down from controversy. The pride of victory and the pain of defeat fill every page.

More profound, perhaps, is the personal portrait he gives of his young son Al Gore, an unsentimental look at a father's hopes for his son's future, now placed in the context of a son honoring his deceased father's memory through his own political legacy. From commentary on race relations to words of inspiration to our youth, Gore, Sr. embodied the best in Southern progressivism and, along the way, clearly articulated the bedrock issues that have come to define much of American politics today.
