"In this carefully researched biography, Betty Glad breaks new ground. She provides a reassessment of a fascinating, if flawed, political leader -- the senator from Nevada who was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during the crucial foreign policy battles in the United States Congress between 1933 and 1940 -- and develops a new theory about the relationships between personality, role expectations, and political situations."
