A Man for All Seasons

Monroe Sweetland and the Liberal Paradox

Beschreibung

The life of prominent Oregon political leader Monroe Sweetland spans the spectrum of 20th-century America. Racial and economic inequalities motivated much of Sweetland's civic life. William G. Robbins' portrait is holistic, exploring Sweetland's socialist beginnings, inconsistencies in his politics - especially during the Cold War - and his regional legacy.
