ABOUT THIS BOOK
"Hamilton makes clear in this intelligent and sensitive biography [that] Hill, whose 45 years in Congress spanned the presidents from Calvin Coolidge to Lyndon Johnson, deserves to be remembered, both for the impressive legislative record he compiled and for the light he shed on southern liberalism in the 20th century."

-- Journal of Southern History

"Hamilton's fine book is based on extensive research [and] it will be of interest to a general audience as well as to scholars."
