Kamala Harris Has a New Memoir

Los Angeles Times: “The book, timed for release as rival Democrats are launching their campaigns, aims to introduce Harris as uniquely positioned to fight for civil and economic rights: as a child of immigrants from India and Jamaica who rose to the top of their fields; as a prosecutor who forced law enforcement agencies resistant to change to confront racial bias; and as a political crusader who defied pressure from colleagues and forced more money out of the nation’s most powerful banks to compensate homeowners in the aftermath of the mortgage crisis.”

NPR: “So is it a great book? No. No, it is not. But that’s not a particularly interesting question, as campaign books are rarely great reads. The question is whether it’s an effective book. On that count, Harris is more successful.”
