Glenn Davis' lifetime encompassed the defining events of the century: Depression, WW II, Vietnam, and Watergate. His biography is like a Greek tragedy. He rises from a poor rural background through brains, work, and personality. He succeeds in Depression, faces terror in the naval war in the Pacific, enters the Congress after the war, rises near the summit with Nixon and Ford, and falls with the disgust of Vietnam and Watergate. For those with an interest in history, politics, and humanity, this biography is an enjoyable thought provoker.

I could not put this book down. It went from his birth all the way to his death. A very detailed account of his time on congress and in world war two.
