(5/3/2022) Join us when Ari Rabin-Havt reviews his book The Fighting Soul, which takes a step beyond profiles or televised interviews. As a close advisor and deputy campaign manager on Sanders’s presidential campaign, Rabin-Havt spent more hours between 2017 and 2020 with the Vermont senator than anyone else. Traveling the country for rallies and to support striking workers, the two visited thirty-six states, drove tens of thousands of miles, and ate in countless chain restaurants. One result was a meteoric and galvanizing presidential campaign. Another is The Fighting Soul, an unforgettable chronicle of life on the road with Sanders and the first in-depth portrait of this fiercely independent, and famously private, left-wing firebrand. Rabin-Havt will examine how Sanders has done more to shape our history than anyone else who has not reached the White House on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.
