About “Relentless”
A veteran of New York and national politics, Luis A. Miranda Jr. embodies the relentless spirit of progress of American immigrants.
There is no one on the Latino, New York, and national political scene with the breadth of experience, passion, and storytelling charm of Mr. Miranda. In “Relentless,” he shares a fascinating narrative of his life and career—from his early days as a radically minded Puerto Rican activist to his decades of political advice and problem-solving.
Mr. Miranda recounts the thrill of the ascendency of “Hamilton,” the award-winning musical created by his son Lin-Manuel, and he details the suffering after the devastation of Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria. Amid the triumphs and challenges, Mr. Miranda examines what his experience reveals about our ever-changing politics, demographics, and society.
