商品簡介
Hulsey (American history, U. of Virginia) portrays Dirksen in his critical yet contradictory role in defining issues of post-World War II America, and in the conflicts internal to the Republican party. He traces Dirksen's relationships with four presidents to show how the senator shifted from being a major Republican critic of Truman to an ardent Republican supporter of LBJ. Dirksen's positions, and reversals, are considered with regard to the major issues of his career social welfare, civil rights, and the Vietnam war. Annotation c.
