ReganBooks, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, today announced that a deal has been finalized with former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott for a memoir to be published in the fall of 2004. The book will cover the entirety of Lott�s life and career, from his birth in the backwoods of north Mississippi, through the political battles won and lost throughout his long career in the House and Senate, to his fall from power in 2002 in a political firestorm over remarks made at the late Sen. Strom Thurmond�s birthday party.
�In the past years, many people have suggested that I write a book about my rise to power in Washington. While I was a leader, I resisted the temptation,� says Lott. �But I now feel the time has come for me to tell my side of the remarkable events that I have been privileged to experience.�
�Senator Lott�s story represents an important part of American history,� says Judith Regan, President and Publisher of ReganBooks. �He is a remarkably insightful and candid witness to the ways of Washington, both today and over the more than thirty years he has served in the House and Senate. We believe this book will offer a fascinating new perspective on both the politician and the man.�
