The Man from Ida Grove: A Senator's Personal Story
Description
In 1972, Hughes was widely considered as the favorite to win the Democratic nomination over George McGovern. Instead, he abruptly quit politics. "Hughes tells a compelling, unforgettable story of how an average person can overcome incredible obstacles. This man of contrasts served as governor of Iowa and was elected to the U. S. Senate, where he fought an unrelenting battle for the rights of the little people. This is an action-packed drama of violence and love, of suicidal urges and miraculous deliverance, of the tough decisions that come with a public life committed to honesty, morality, and compassion. " 346 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. Chosen Books / Word (ISBN 0-912376-38-4).
