The Politics of Trust - Reubin Askew and Florida in the 1970's

Informationen zum Autor Gordon E. Harvey is the author of A Question of Justice: New South Governors and Education, 1968-1976 and coeditor of History and Hope in the Heart of Dixie: Scholarship, Activism, and Wayne Flynt in the Modern South . Klappentext Florida governor Reubin Askew memorably characterized a leader as "someone who cares enough to tell the people not merely what they want to hear, but what they need to know.” It was a surprising statement for a politician to make, and, more surprising still, it worked. In this title Gordon E. Harvey traces the life and career of the man whose public service many still recall as "the Golden Age” of Florida politics.
