Review\nWhen it comes to politics and politicians, we don’t agree on much, but one thing we do agree on is that Gov. Zell Miller is a helluva man and he has written a helluva book! -- James Carville and Mary Matalin\nThe inspirational heart of Corps Values is Zell’s passionate belief that good governance and progress for our citizens are dependent on the acceptance of common and enduring rules of both self-respect and respect for others. -- Senator Sam Nunn\nZell Miller was one of the United States’ most respected leaders. His integrity, passion, and commitment to excellence earned the praise of colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Miller often attributed his successes to the value of his formative experience in the Marine Corps as a young man. In his writing and stump speeches, he stated, “In the twelve weeks of hell and transformation that were Marine Corps boot camp, I learned the values of achieving a successful life that have guided and sustained me on the course which, although sometimes checkered and detoured, I have followed ever since.”\nIn Corps Values Miller recounts his life and the simple but powerful lessons he learned in the U.S. Marines: the core values he feels we must embrace if we are to be successful as individuals and as a nation. Only by incorporating such time-honored Marine qualities as pride, discipline, courage, and respect into our personal and professional lives can we meet the challenges that lie ahead. With Corps Values Miller urges us all to go back to “basic training” to reinforce the values that ultimately lead to success in any endeavor.

A governor makes many speeches. During his eight years, Zell Miller made over 1800 of them. This is a selection of several complete speeches and excerpts from many others. These words helped shape his administration and give an insight into the man and his talent for communication.There are common threads woven all through these speeches: his all-encompassing reverence for education, his belief that personal responsibility comes with benefits, his love of the state's diverse environment, the importance he placed on job creation, his Marine-tough approach to crime, and his inbred frugality show up time and time again.

That description of the valley where I was born and grew up is still an accurate one. The physical appearance of the valley is now dotted with homes, roads and electric lines, but the breathtaking beauty of the mountains has changed very little. There were few white men in the valley in 1836. John Bryson and Alton Kirby had come in a few years earlier. Today there are only a few hundred more--still some Brysons and Kirbys--but the population is still relatively sparse. It was in this scantily populated village that my hopes were lifted and my ability to cope were nurtured.

A true story of the miraculous creation of a college in a remote mountain valley at the turn of the 19th century and the captivating characters who, with the grace of God, made it happen: The Methodist circuit rider, still in his 20s, who came into the valley on a mule, bringing only a dream and the fierce faith of an Old Testament prophet. The wise, resourceful, soft-spoken widow who breathed life into the infant school not once, but twice. The wealthy Methodist layman whose generosity for Christian education was so great that his kin sued him because they felt left out. The college president, a Shakespearean scholar, who was more at home on the farm with his britches rolled up and shirt tail flapping.

Purt Nigh Gone: The Old Mountain Ways, the latest book by New York Times best-selling author, former U. S. senator and Georgia governor Zell Miller, is about a way of life that once was, but is no more. Time has taken its toll on much of the unique Appalachian mountain culture. Only a remnant now remains. “Purt nigh gone”…or “pretty near gone”…is the region’s disappearing dialect, swallowed up by exposure to mass media popular culture. Nearly gone as well is the area’s traditional music, its food, its old-time religion, its humor, and even its moonshine. While considering these fading treasures, this book also looks at the Appalachian mountains in their prehistoric times, when they rose higher than the Rockies, at the Cherokees and their removal, at the nation’s first gold rush, and at the timeless question of whose mountains these truly are. Finally, Zell Miller leaves us with 101 good reasons for living in these mountains today. But after reading through these remembrances of a time “purt nigh gone,” you will hardly need them. These mountains will feel like home already.

This New York Times best-seller is a piercing critique of the Democratic Party. A longtime Democrat who steadfastly refuses to join the Republicans, Senator Zell Miller nevertheless believes his party has lost touch with the majority of Americans. Considering Miller's long and distinguished career of loyalty to his party, this is a sobering and timely work of modern political thought.
