Red Pepper and Gorgeous George: Claude Pepper's Epic Defeat in the 1950 Democratic Primary (Florida Government and Politics)
The campaign that changed everything in Florida “A fascinating study of two important Floridians at a critical juncture in American history, when anticommunism made a decisive mark on postwar politics and culture. Clark effectively untangles the divergent strands in the complicated story of the Florida senatorial election of 1950, and he does so judiciously and fairly. Crisply written, engagingly presented, and carefully researched, this is essential reading for students of modern America.”—William Link, author ofRighteous Warrior: Jesse Helms and the Rise of Modern Conservatism
