Book Description

537 votes. The razor-thin margin in the 2000 presidential election that forever altered the course of history—shaping the future of a nation and the world.

In DENIED: Al Gore—The Man, The Mission, and a Missed Presidency, Republican biographer Charles Denyer crosses the political aisle to deliver a riveting, unvarnished portrait of one of America’s most enigmatic political figures.

What emerges is a piercing and unflinching chronicle of Gore’s life and his quarter-century ascent through the unforgiving world of American politics—a journey shaped by towering ambition, fleeting triumphs, and a series of haunting missteps that would ultimately cost him the presidency.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • Gore’s service in Vietnam, torn by duty and moral conflict, forever scarred by the brutal realities of war.
  • His relentless ambition, molded by legacy and sharpened by intellect.
  • The fatal missteps and powerful forces that unraveled his 2000 campaign.
  • Exclusive interviews with Senator Joe Lieberman—Gore’s running mate—and senior advisors, revealing tensions and turning points within the campaign.
  • The aftermath—Gore’s clash with Clinton, the collapse of their alliance, and the long road to personal and political reinvention.

This is the untold story of Al Gore, a personal and political odyssey forged in the fiery crucible of Vietnam, driven by unyielding ambition, and forever altered by his agonizing defeat to George W. Bush in 2000 – yet emerging once more, reshaping his destiny and legacy on the world stage far from the Oval Office.
