<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published in hardcover in the United States by Random House, an imprint and division of Random House LLC, in 1969.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this eye-opening nonfiction account, world-renowned author James A. Michener details the reckless gamble U.S. voters make every four years: trusting the electoral college. In 1968, Michener served as a presidential elector in Pennsylvania. What he witnessed that fall disturbed him so much that he felt compelled to expose the very real potential in this system for a grave injustice with history-altering consequences. Incorporating the wide-ranging insight and universal compassion of Michener's bestselling novels, <i>Presidential Lottery </i>is essential reading for every American concerned about the ever-growing rift between the people and the political process. <p/> <b>Praise for <i>Presidential Lottery</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> "Clear, concise, and sensible . . . a thoughtful book on how Americans choose their President."<b>--<i>The New York Times</i></b> <p/> "An urgent appeal."<b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Clear, concise, and sensible . . . a thoughtful book on how Americans choose their President."<b>--<i>The New York Times</i></b> <p/> "An urgent appeal."<b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>James A. Michener</b> was one of the world's most popular writers, the author of more than forty books of fiction and nonfiction, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning <i>Tales of the South Pacific, </i>the bestselling novels <i>The Source, Hawaii, Alaska, Chesapeake, Centennial, Texas, Caribbean, </i>and <i>Caravans, </i>and the memoir <i>The World Is My Home</i>. Michener served on the advisory council to NASA and the International Broadcast Board, which oversees the Voice of America. Among dozens of awards and honors, he received America's highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 1977, and an award from the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities in 1983 for his commitment to art in America. Michener died in 1997 at the age of ninety.
