Of Mule and Man

In May 2008—shortly after being named by the *Los Angeles Times* as a “Person of the Year”—Mike Farrell drove himself across the country on a book tour like no other. Networking with political groups (and friends like Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame), Farrell has redefined the very concepts of book touring and "promotion" through a progressive lens. Best known for his eight years on *M* A *S* H *and five seasons on* Providence *, **Mike Farrell** is also a writer, director, and producer. Farrell has served on human rights and peace delegations to many countries around the world. His first book, * Just Call Me Mike *(Akashic Books, 2007), was a* Los Angeles Times* bestseller.
