Standing at the Water's Edge: Bob Straub's Battle for the Soul of Oregon

Beschreibung

Chronicles the life of a unique, and perhaps unlikely, political figure in Oregon's history: former Governor Robert W. Straub. A man of intelligence, drive, creativity, and fascinating contradictions, Straub overcame personal challenges and inevitable comparisons to his charismatic predecessor and friendly Republican rival, Tom McCall, to have a lasting impact on Oregon and the nation. Charles Johnson shares insights into Straub's significant legacy, focusing on his leading role in the state's financial and environmental issues and his influence on McCall.
