J. William Fulbright ― A Bibliography

This annotated bibliography dealing with J. William Fulbright assesses the literature by and about Senator Fulbright, chronicling the course of U.S. history since the 1940s, his important role as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and in major controversies across the years, and the educational exchange program that he fostered. A short introduction describes his early background and political career. The bibliography of almost 1300 entries covers both primary sources and published secondary works. The first part of the bibliography covers manuscript and paper collections; the second part of the bibliography arranges Fulbright's writings chronologically and works about him follow in chronologically-and topically-based chapters and then alphabetically by author. A chronology and full index further enrich this reference tool for students and teachers in the fields of government, law, and history and for policymakers.
