Narrator: Kevin Foley, Length: 11 hr 23 min, Published: 2010

Like a nonfiction version of All the King's Men, The Politician offers a truly disturbing, even shocking, perspective on the risks taken and tactics employed by a man determined to rule the most powerful nation on earth. Idealistic and ambitious, Andrew Young volunteered for the John Edwards campaign for Senate in 1998 and quickly became the candidate's right-hand man. As the senator became a national star, Young's responsibilities grew. For a decade he was this politician's confidant, and he was assured he was "like family." In time, however, Young was drawn into a series of questionable assignments that culminated with Edwards asking him to help conceal the senator's ongoing adultery. Days before the 2008 presidential primaries began, Young gained international notoriety when he told the world that he was the father of a child being carried by a woman named Rielle Hunter, who was actually the senator's mistress. While Young began a life on the run, hiding from the press with his family and alleged mistress, John Edwards continued to pursue the presidency and then the vice presidency in the future Obama administration. Young had been the senator's closest aide and most trusted friend. He believed that John Edwards could be a great president and was assured throughout the cover-up that his boss and friend would ultimately step forward to both tell the truth and protect his aide's career. Neither promise was kept. Not only is The Politician a moving personal account of Andrew Young's political education, but it also offers a look at the trajectory that made John Edwards the ideal Democratic candidate for president and the hubris that brought him down, leaving his career, his marriage, and his dreams in ashes.

The Politican Unbelievable insight into a tragic story of normal people that get swept away by money, greed, and power. GREAT LISTEN but I wonder if the editor understands the meaning of the word "edit." Well worth the price!!

The Politician Thank you for writing this book, it was eye opening. My wish is for all the best for "The Young's." Only good can come of you telling this story, it needed to be told. (msbakeman, 2010-03-05) Product reviewed: The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal that Brought Him Down (Unabridged) - Andrew Young

This is a great book. I bought this audio book to see what the hype was about. OMG.... what I have found out is, that if all politicians behave as this character (Edwards) behaves… We as a country are really in trouble. I find this book very readable and believable. Mrs. Edwards is a total control freak, and Mr. Edward is a total fruitloop. I hope that this family (Young’s) can get on with their lives and leave the trash at the curb. And the poor little baby, how sad that the whole world knows who this is and what a beginning she has had in life…. Buy this (RC's-Toys, 2010-03-01) Product reviewed: The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal that Brought Him Down (Unabridged) - Andrew Young

Pretty amazing Young tells a good story but I have a good feeling Elizabeths rebuttal book will set the record straight. I hope he makes enough money from this book to take care of his family. Good read though. (Bluedog63, 2010-02-28) Product reviewed: The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal that Brought Him Down (Unabridged) - Andrew Young

An inside look at the slimey side of politics and human ambition. Andrew Young's revealing book about John and Elizabeth Edwards certainly paints a familiar but disappointing picture of a "supposed" leader and his wife. John Edwards was as phoney as a man could be, and the most amazing thing for me was that Young stayed with him for as long as he did. Obviously Young has his own set of value problems. But insofar as it exposes the real character of John Edwards and the false image he portrayed to America, the book has real value. For anyone interested in the real world of politics, it is a great read. I highly recommend it.

Excellent Excellent read. (realdieu, 2010-02-14) Product reviewed: The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal that Brought Him Down (Unabridged) - Andrew Young

The Politician An eye-opening, jaw-dropping account of what was really going on behind the scenes in the lives of John and Elizabeth Edwards. Thank you, Andrew Young, for giving the public the true story. Your account has shown John Edwards to be the narcissist that he is. So glad he never made it to the White House!
