Shortest Way Home

A compelling memoir from a fascinating new voice in American politics.

Wherever you land on the political spectrum, Pete Buttigieg is one of the more interesting figures in American public life today. As a millennial, he previews a new generation of American politicians. As a soldier and a man of faith, he defies clichés about the American left. As a gay man, he speaks for an underrepresented group at this level of public service. He is thoughtful and well-spoken, and seems to genuinely engage with the important issues of our time. Agree or disagree with his conclusions, his is a voice worth hearing -- and you'll hear it here, since he narrates his own memoir!
