This is the most up-to-date book available on a political figure both widely admired and disliked; few people in public life capture the imaginations and articulate the frustrations of diametrically opposed groups such as liberals and conservatives, rich and poor, and blacks and whites as Jerry Brown does. Erik Bucy's introduction covers Brown's rise as a national figure, recaps his significant achievements and ideas, and provides a unique view on the 1992 Brown for President.
