A new memoir by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo lays out his philosophy on politics but steers clear of his national ambitions or allegations that he meddled with an anti-corruption commission. The 517-page book is being published by HarperCollins and goes on sale Tuesday.
The Wall Street Journal obtained an advance copy and reports that Cuomo uses the book to tout his accomplishments as a "progressive reformer" who accomplished liberal goals like same-sex marriage and gun control while taking a more conservative approach to economic issues.
The New York Times reports that the memoir contains some personal details, including Cuomo's despair following his failed 2002 gubernatorial bid. Only two pages describe the breakup of his marriage to Kerry Kennedy.
