Fighting Bob La Follette: The Righteous Reformer door Nancy C. Unger
Biography of a dynamic politician who led the fight for many reforms, such as direct election of senators, controls on railroads and utilities, and workers' rights. He bravely stood against "patriotic" sentiment in opposing U.S. entry into World War II.
