Lee Annis Jr. has taught history at Montgomery College for the past thirty years, and he is currently chairman of the History and Political Science Department. He is author of Howard Baker: Conciliator in an Age of Crisis, and, with Senator William H. Frist, co-author of Tennessee Senators, 1911–2001: Portraits of Leadership in a Century of Change. A blunt man of few words but many contradictions, Jim Eastland was an important player in Washington, from his initial stint in 1941 where he rapidly salvaged several key local projects from bungling intervention, to the 1970s when he shepherded the Supreme Court nominees of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford to Senate confirmation. The author paints a full picture of the man, describing the objections Eastland raised to civil rights proposals and the eventual accommodations he needed to accept after the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Cover has wear, soiling, and rubbing. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Inscription reads Inscribed for Larry Hartge, who loves sailing just as I do. Bob Bavier Dec. 1966. Previous owner's stamp is also on the half-title page. Robert N. Bavier, Jr. was an America’s Cup winning helmsman and one of the sport’s leaders for many years. He first raced at the Larchmont (N.Y.) YC on Long Island Sound, was a top junior sailor, and won the intercollegiate sailing championship. After Navy duty during World War II, he joined the staff of Yachting magazine, where he spent all his working life before retiring to South Carolina. Widely considered one of the East Coast’s best racing sailors, Bavier sailed at the top of highly competitive fleets of International One-Designs, racer-cruisers, and other classes on Western Long Island Sound. He was a master of tactics and had an uncanny ability to sniff out wind shifts. In 1964 he was in the afterguard of the 12-Meter Constellation in the early rounds of the America’s Cup defender’s trials, when the boat was regularly beaten by American Eagle. After Bavier was named helmsman, Constellation’s performance improved dramatically, and she won the trials and then the Cup races in a sweep over the English challenger Sovereign. As successful as he was as a racing helmsman, Bavier’s place in yachting history was assured by his leadership of and influence on the pastime of yachting as it underwent its tremendous post-war expansion. From the 1940s to the late ’70s, he was at the sport’s center. More
