description: In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Methodist bishop Cannon became a household word when he broke the Southern taboo against preachers in politics and fought to secure and protect prohibition of alcohol. He was later accused of stock-market gambling, adultery, and embezzling campaign funds. This biography examines his career as a churchman, reformer, and politician. Annotation c.
