Before becoming Governor, Richardson was a member of Congress for 15 years and also served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and Secretary of Energy during the presidency of Bill Clinton.

In Between Worlds: The Making of an American Life Richardson offers readers insights into his dreams for a brighter American future and speaks candidly about his rise to political power and how his heritage as the son of an American businessman and a Mexican mother shaped his values, his policies and his approach to public service. Some highlights of Richardson's autobiography include: details of Richardson's role as a negotiator with Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, North Korean officials, the Taliban, and others; how the events of 9/11 prompted Richardson to return to the political arena and run for governor of New Mexico; and Richardson's reflection on the "New Progressivism" and how it stands to reform and revitalize the Democratic Party.
