An informative, superbly written political biography.

In Search Of Peace, George Mitchell, Alberta Gould offers a compelling and informative biography of the former Democratic Senator from Main, George Mitchell. Originally appointed in 1980 by Maine's Governor Joseph Brennan to fill the unexpired term of Senator Edmund Muskie, Mitchell won his own seat in the United State Senate at the next election. Upon serving eight years in that august body, Mitchell was made Senate Majority Leader, after the President, the most powerful political position in the country. While an excellent political biography, Gould reveals George Mitchell as an outstanding and dedicated humanitarian which would eventually lead him to a post-senatorial role of international peace maker in Northern Ireland.
