Minor moisture staining inside top DJ edge, minor bleeding of board color onto DJ. Derived from a Kirkus Review: Vivid, balanced account of the political evolution of the legendary segregationist who retained his Senate seat for nearly four decades and become a distinguished Washington institution. Born in 1902, Thurmond grew up in a conservative, racially segregated social milieu and a solidly Democratic political culture. Cohodas presents Thurmond as a decent but conformist and ambitious product of this environment who, elected governor of South Carolina in 1946, took some progressive steps but fought attempts to change his state's ``custom and tradition'' of racial segregation. Thurmond opposed civil-rights so much that, in 1948, he led fellow ``Dixiecrats'' out of the Democratic Party to run a third-party campaign for President. In 1954, Thurmond began his long career as a senator from South Carolina, achieving an enduring reputation who once conducted a 24-hour filibuster against civil-rights legislation. Cohodas argues persuasively that Thurmond's principal political achievement has been to transform the ``solid South'' from a Democratic to a Republican stronghold. , Cohodas shows that his conservatism mellowed as American society changed. The author closes with the striking actions of Thurmond helping, as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Clarence Thomas onto the Supreme Court. More

Illustrations (some in color). Notes. Index. Signed by the author on the title page. Rafael Edward Cruz (born December 22, 1970) is an American politician, attorney, and political commentator serving as the junior United States senator from Texas since 2013. A member of the Republican Party, Cruz was the Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to 2008. After graduating from Princeton University and Harvard Law School, Cruz pursued a career in politics, later working as a policy advisor in the George W. Bush administration. In 2003, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott appointed Cruz to serve as Solicitor General, a position he held from 2003 to 2008. In 2012, Cruz was elected to the U.S. Senate, becoming the first Hispanic-American to serve as a U.S. senator from Texas. In the Senate, he played a leading role in the 2013 United States federal government shutdown, seeking to force Congress and President Barack Obama to defund the Affordable Care Act. He was reelected in 2018. On March 23, 2015, Cruz announced he was running for president. Despite having only been a senator for two years, he emerged as a serious contender in the Republican primaries. After Trump won the nomination, Cruz initially declined to endorse him, but he became a staunch supporter of Trump during his presidency. After the January 2021 Capitol attack, Cruz received widespread political and popular backlash for objecting to the certification of Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election and giving credence to the claim that the election was fraudulent.
