description: Jim McDougal's vivid self-portrait, completed only days before his death, takes on the rich particularity of character and plot to reveal the hidden intersections of politics and special interests in Arkansas and the betrayals that followed. It is the story of how ambitious men and women climbed out of rural obscurity and "how friendships break down and lives are ruined".Arkansas Mischief conjures up a style of politics rooted in the land, of individuals inextricably yoked and manipulated by the privileged few. Though image-shattering, the book does not attempt to get Bill or Hillary Clinton, Jim Blair, Jim Guy Tucker, or the silenced Susan McDougal.
