Reviews
"The ideas of La Follette and his fellow progressives are our best hope for countering the reactionary and destructive forces that threaten to dissolve this fragile experiment in self-government which has so much to offer and has so far yet to go." ( Bill Moyers, PBS Host and author of Moyers on Democracy ) "In our time of mediocre and timid political leadership, it is good to have a book that reminds us of the unique political courage of Bob La Follette." ( Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present ) "Nancy Unger has produced a fascinating, insightful, and persuasive portrait of Wisconsin's 'Little Giant.' She . . . penetrates into his mind and character."
