Reviews
"Anyone familiar with John Baer's column in the Philadelphia Daily News knows it is witty, insightful and often splays politicians like a meat cleaver. His book, 'On the Front Lines of Pennsylvania Politics: Twenty-five Years of Keystone Reporting' (The History Press), is no different. It spans the era from former Gov. Dick Thornburgh to Gov. Tom Corbett." --Brad Bumsead Trib Total Media Baer is one of those old-school columnists who breaks down the news by making each point ring like a gunshot, then slides a sweet little daisy of a last sentence into the muzzle as the smoke clears. His new book, On the Front Lines of Pennsylvania Politics: 25 Years of Keystone Reporting, is based on his 25 years reporting on Harrisburg for the Philadelphia Daily News. Baer has covered it all, from soup to nuts (that's Milton Shapp and Gov. Corbett, to me and you)." --Tara Murtha, Philadelphia Weekly
Synopsis
Enjoy a fun look at behind-the-scenes politics and personalities in the history of Harrisburg and the Keystone State. Pennsylvania, first home of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, has a tradition of political progress. However, along with the good, the political playground of Pennsylvania has also seen the brazenly bad behavior of its political leaders. For over twenty-five years, political columnist John Baer has had a front-row seat to the foibles and follies of the Keystone State's political system. Baer takes readers through his memories of covering state politics for the last quarter century, from Democratic governor Milton Shapp's short-lived run for president--in which he finished behind ""no preference"" in the Florida primary--to highlights of some of the game-changing campaign missteps and maneuvers that moved administrations in and out of the capital. With a delightfully gruff wit, Baer gives readers a behind-the-scenes view of the politics and personalities that have passed through Harrisburg., Enjoy a fun look at behind-the-scenes politics and personalities in the history of Harrisburg and the Keystone State.
