Gov. Rendell to Sign 'A Nation of Wusses'

A month after the publication of his first book, former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell will visit  on Tuesday, July 3, to sign copies of the chronicle of his 34-year political career, "A Nation of Wusses: How America's Leaders Lost the Guts to Make Us Great."

Rendell will appear at Sun Rose (756 Asbury Avenue) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and copies of the hardcover book ($25.95) will be available.

Ed Rendell served two terms as Democratic governor of Pennsylvania (2003-2011), two terms as mayor of Philadelphia (1992-2000) and headed the Democratic National Committee in 2000.  He’s now a Partner at Ballard Spahr, LLP and a senior political analyst for MSNBC. He's an Ocean City property owner.

“I wrote the book for two reasons," Rendell said in a news release. "First, I wanted people to understand how rewarding it has been to serve the public for 34 years, and how the government I led accomplished good things for people, despite the challenges we faced. “Secondly, our country is at a crossroads, and we need bold, decisive, and courageous action on the part of our leaders if we are to successfully confront our problems.” 

Sun Rose will reserve and have books signed for customers who cannot attend the book-signing. Call (609) 399-9190 to reserve a book.
