Recenzii
“An iconic Arizona story worthy of Gary L. Stuart’s talents.”—Mary M. Schroeder
“Stuart captures the essence of a humble man who, despite innumerable tragedies, accomplished perhaps more than any other leader in modern history. Ernest McFarland was the workhorse of Arizona—while other politicians were simply show horses.”—Chris Hartman
"Stuart’s new book presents fresh insights about McFarland, an extraordinary individual who overcame illness and tragedy to accomplish, gracefully, so much vital work.”—Douglas C. Towne
“Arizona legal historian Gary L. Stuart has reached a new pinnacle of success with his latest biography, Call Him Mac: Ernest W. McFarland, the Arizona Years. Stuart’s scholarship and passion for the ‘service above self’ life of Senator McFarland—and the role he played in shaping post–World War II America and his beloved state of Arizona—will remind readers of why we owe so much to the ‘Greatest Generation.’”—Stuart Rosebrook
“Between 1936 and 1971 Ernest McFarland had the rare distinction of winning the triple crown of politics in the United States. He was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he became the Senate majority leader, and he served as Arizona’s governor and as the state’s chief justice of the Supreme Court. He shined in all areas, leading the effort to pass the federal GI Bill, advocating for the state’s economic and environmental issues, and writing the court’s Miranda decision to protect the rights of the accused to an attorney. His career certainly ranks him at the top of the many illustrious Arizona politicians of the twentieth century.”—James W. Johnson
