David Maraniss and Ellen Nakashima.  September 2000. THE PRINCE OF TENNESSEE: The Rise Of Al Gore. New York: Simon & Schuster.
"Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and biographer David Maraniss teams with Washington Post colleague Ellen Nakashima to explore in rich detail the forces that have shaped Al Gore's life and career.  Drawing on hundreds of interviews, including six lengthy conversations with the vice president, as well as boxes of memos, letters and other  documents, the authors explore Gore's past and the clues found therein to what kind of president he would be."
 

Debra Saunders.  June 2000.  THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GORE.  San Francisco: Encounter Books.
"In THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GORE, nationally syndicated columnist Debra Saunders sees Gore'sattempt to create a more exciting self as consistent with his attempts to prove himself as a "cutting edge" diagnostician of our social ills.  "Whether posing as the eco-guru battling 'consumptionism'," she writes, "or the social theorist with a 'Livability Agenda' calling for federally sanctioned communities, attacking the automobile as the scourge of civilization, and proposing universal pre-school, Al Gore is a unique figure on our political scene."
