The Stevensons by Jean Harvey Baker
Historian and biographer Jean H. Baker tells the compelling story of four generations of an American family and its most celebrated member the high-minded, eloquent, and perennial also-ran icon of liberal politics, Adlai Ewing Stevenson I (1900-1965). With Baker's characteristically deft blend of the public and the private, set on a broad canvas, the Stevenson story becomes an American saga. Photos.
