Title: General Ashcroft
Description: Reviled as a fascist and zealot by libertarians and liberals but praised as a great patriot and devout man of God by many conservatives, John Ashcroft may have been the most powerful and polarizing attorney general in our nation's history. Looking past such oversimplified stereotypes, Nancy Baker offers an in-depth study of Ashcroft's controversial tenure as attorney general--and as domestic commander in our campaign against global terrorism.
