A compelling biography of a Southern conservative Democrat who overcame multiple tragedies in his personal life to become one of the most powerful Senators during his time. He confronted comparable issues facing the country today, such as deficit spending, labor union corruption, and the mafia, and rendered commonsense solutions by asserting a deep-rooted principle to do the right thing. This well-written book presents a fascinating glimpse into McClellan’s personal life, political contests, and professional career.
