About the book: Michael Dukakis is a former Massachusetts governor, presidential candidate, and lifelong resident of Brookline. For many, the name Governor Dukakis evokes nostalgia for a bygone time in Massachusetts history. Dukakis holds the title of longest serving governor in MA; serving terms in 1975-79 and again in 1983-91. The Duke is a humorous and intimate look at Dukakis and his career. Author Scott Kerman sits down with Dukakis and over a series of casual conversations, anecdotes, reflections, and photos, the reader gets a great sense of Dukakis, his personality, and personal take on politics past and present.
