New Richardson book to be released in October

A new book by Gov. Bill Richardson will be released in October.

Obviously designed to be a boost to his presidential campaign, the book will be titled “Leading by Example: How We Can Inspire an Energy and Security Revolution.”

If you’re interested, you can preorder it by clicking here. Its scheduled release date is Oct. 26.

The book, according to the publisher, will essentially lay out Richardson’s energy plan. Here’s part of the synopsis provided by the publisher, Wiley, to retailers.

“We’ve confused energy security with oil security. In our pursuit of oil security, we’ve become as isolated and alone as we have been since the world went global,” the summary states. “Today, far more of our international situation is related to oil and energy, because we are as energy-hungry as ever, and more energy-dependent than ever. To take just one pressing example, Iran is a threat, and it sits on the world’s second-largest oil reserves. Should we try to work with them or not?”

I’m certain it won’t win Richardson any literary awards, but this is what presidential candidates do. Maybe it will give a boost to his campaign.

The hardcover, 256-page book will have a retail price of $25.95.
