註釋President Franklin Roosevelt loathed him. Columnist Drew Pearson savaged him in print. Joe McCarthy was determined to destroy him. But the target of those men--from opposite ends of the political spectrum--gave as good as he got. Senator Millard E. Tyding's rise from humble beginnings to international prominence was the stuff of Horatio Algers legends. Career-longefforts to sidestep or out-maneuver his numerous political rivals infuriated many state leaders who accused him of emulating Machiavelli.
This book is a richly textured, a warm, deep human book that tells a fascinating personal story. It is a masterful and intelligent portrait of a controversial figure in American history.
