The Best Lawyer in a One-Lawyer Town A Memoir, by Dale Bumpers (27 July 2004) This is an exceptionally excellent book, and reading it was a delight. The author, US senator from Arkansas for 24 years--till Jan 3, 1999--has snatches of humor throughout the book, together with wise and poignant thoughts. It is indeed a memoir rather than an autobiography, since he does not dwell greatly on what he did as Governor for four years and as Senator. The culminating chapter pertains to his role in Clinton's impeachment, with an appendix setting out his speech in that event--an exceptionally able exposition of why Clinton should not be convicted. I found this book tremendously satisfying and evocative of much admiration for its self-deprecating author. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
If Frank McCourt had grown up in Depression-era Arkansas, he might write like Dale Bumpers, one of the most colorful, entertaining, and wise politicians in recent American history, Atticus Finch with a sense of humor. In The Best Lawyer in a One-Lawyer Town, Bumpers tells the story of his remarkable journey from poverty to political legend, and the result is a great American memoir that has attracted wide acclaim for its clever southern charm.
