Tucker Carlson has rapidly emerged as the most influential political commentator of the 21st century. He became an accomplished print journalist at The Weekly Standard, hosted successful television shows on CNN, PBS, and MSNBC, founded and served as editor-in-chief of The Daily Caller, and now, at Fox News, he hosts Tucker Carlson Tonight - the most-watched, highest-rated show in U.S. cable news history.

Born in San Francisco on May 16, 1969, Tucker McNear Carlson attended boarding schools in Switzerland and Rhode Island, married the headmaster's daughter, attended Trinity College, earned a degree in history, got his start in journalism as a fact-checker for Policy Review, worked as a reporter for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, joined the Weekly Standard, and worked as a columnist for New York magazine, Reader's Digest, Esquire, Slate, The Daily Beast, and the Wall Street Journal. In 2000, Carlson made the leap from print journalism to television commentating, and the rest is history.

This short book tells the intensely human story of a man who changed the world in a way that no one else could.
