Douglas Wilder. Inscribed by the author. William Lacy Clay Sr. (born April 30, 1931) is an American politician from Missouri. As Congressman from Missouri's First District, he represented portions of St. Louis in the U.S. House of Representatives for 32 years. Clay was elected to the House of Representatives as a Democrat in 1968. He became an advocate for environmentalism, labor issues, and social justice. Clay faced ethics charges in the 1970s for billing the government on auto trips while flying on airlines, and the House banking scandal revealed that Clay had 328 overdrafts. In 1993, Clay helped to pass the Family and Medical Leave Act. From 1991 until the Democrats lost control of Congress in 1995, Clay chaired the House Committee on the Post Office and Civil Service. In 2000, he retired from the House and his son William L. Clay Jr. succeeded him. More

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

Jonathan Coleman (born 1951) is an American author of literary nonfiction living in New York City. Jonathan Coleman worked as a book editor with Knopf and Simon & Schuster. In 1980, in a piece about publishing, he was profiled in Time magazine as one of the best editors in the field. In 1986, Coleman began teaching literary nonfiction writing at the University of Virginia through 1993. He lectures at universities throughout the country. Coleman's books have included Exit the Rainmaker (1989), the story of Jay Carsey, a college president who abruptly abandoned his marriage and career and disappeared, a book the Los Angeles Times Book Review called "A fascinating, symbolic statement of the American psyche"; At Mother's Request: A True Story of Money, Murder, and Betrayal, about the Franklin Bradshaw murder (which was hailed as "a masterwork of reporting" by the Washington Post Book World, won an Edgar Allan Poe Award from the Mystery Writers of America and was made into a miniseries); and Long Way to Go: Black and White in America, which Library Journal called "A stunner....Coleman's narrative technique is superb...a brilliant book." In 2011, Coleman coauthored the autobiography of basketball legend Jerry West—West by West: My Charmed, Tormented Life—which received critical acclaim and became a New York Times bestseller. The Los Angeles Times named it one of the best nonfiction books of 2011. More
