Tillfälligt slut

Although Patrick A. McCarran represented one of the least populated states in the country, he gained a national reputation as a U.S. Senator from Nevada. He entered the political spotlight by locking horns with the Roosevelt and Truman administrations on foreign policy, internal security, and many domestic issues. His strategic use of committee assignments, coupled with a strong backing of loyal, home-state supporters, enabled him to achieve a powerful position in the government.

“Although much has been written about McCarran, this is the first published biography. The author . . . explains that it is not a personal or comprehensive political biography: ‘This is a case study of how a single individual dominated an entire state.’ Edwards concentrates in this scholarly, well-written study on a fascinating and little-known facet of McCarran’s career.”—Pacific Historian“Edwards has crafted a useful monograph based on papers of U.S. Senator Patrick McCarran and other manuscripts. Scholars of Nevada politics will doubtless tap this writing extensively.” —The Western Historical Quarterly
