• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book tells Clifford Case's life story, his ascendancy in GOP politics, his achievements and disappointments in Congress, and his unexpected loss in the 1978 NJ GOP primary to Reagan protégé Jeffrey Bell. Case's career demonstrates that electoral and legislative achievements need not rely on appeals to political extremes.
