520 1 $a"This first biography of Otto Kerner traces the career of a major figure in Illinois politics and examines his precipitous descent from public hero to convicted felon."--BOOK JACKET. "As Cook County judge, Kerner reformed Illinois adoption procedure; as a two-term Democratic governor, he promoted economic development, education, mental health services, and equal access to jobs and housing; as a federal appeals court judge, he bucked the law-and-order tide of the late 1960s and protected the rights of the accused. His entire public career reflected his experiences as a decorated combat officer in World War II."--Jacket.
520 8 $a"Kerner's achievements, however, were eclipsed by his conviction on federal charges of mail fraud, bribery, perjury, and income tax evasion tied to his dealings in stock of an Illinois racetrack enterprise. Arguing that Kerner's incarceration related less to his misdeeds than to the zeal of federal investigators in attacking corruption in Illinois, Bill Barnhart and Gene Schlickman reveal how the prosecution of the popular ex-governor deepened the penetration of the federal government into state and local politics and coarsened attitudes toward public service."--Jacket.
520 8 $a"This broad-based study sets Kerner's life against a backdrop of pivotal events and issues in American politics over six decades. An absorbing biography of a prominent and arguably tragic public figure, Kerner presents a cautionary tale about the strengths and weaknesses of the American political character and the capriciousness of political acclaim and denigration."--Jacket.
