Winning With Integrity: Getting What You Want Without Selling Your Soul
Leigh Steinberg, Michael D'Orso

Three Rivers Press, 1999

Awesome Framework for Negotiating!
I found this book to be a real treasure and entertaining at the same time. And best of all, you don't need to be a sports fan to appreciate the examples Steinberg uses. It is a shame that some readers have found this book shallow and only written to brag about his ...

Cold weather, hot basketball

For the Children: Lessons from a Visionary Principal
Madeline Cartwright

Doubleday, 1993

Inspiring for All
This book should be a must read for all of educators but especially those working with our inner-city youth. It is practically my bible of teaching. There are so many things our students need to succeed and Cartwright meets those basic needs. When basic needs are ...
  
  











  



  
Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement
John Lewis, Michael D'Orso

Harvest Books, 1999

Invaluable Primer on Civil Rights and Nonviolence

Eagle Blue: A Team, a Tribe, and a High School Basketball Season in Arctic Alaska
Michael D'Orso

Bloomsbury USA, 2006

Splendid effort
I've read many books about a sports season that, in a boring way, review game highlights. D'Orso reviews the entire culture, what basketball means in bush country, Alaska, in prose that is wonderful and intelligent.
  
  











  



  
Like No Other Time: The 107th Congress and the Two Years That Changed America Forever
Tom Daschle, Michael D'Orso

Crown, 2003

Thoughtful and insightful
Tom Daschle's memoir of the 107th Congress should ultimately be recognized as one of the best first person accounts of the critical two years following the 2000 election. Like No Other Time is an exceptionally good senatorial memoir. Daschle is a keen observer of ...

Like Judgment Day: 0

Putnam Adult, 1996

heart-wrenching story of survival
I read this book in one day, and I don't think I'll ever forget the people of or the place Rosewood, FL. The author does an excellent job of using flash backs and the investigation years later to make this an unforgettable book. It never ceases to amaze me on how ...

Simon & Schuster, 2001

A Great Look at the Senate and Government Life
Joseph Lieberman, in what came to be known as his campaign book in 2000, eloquently pleads his case, albeit somewhat subliminally, for a prominent political role in the Democratic party and the presidential election of 2000. He may have written it before he was ...
