This is an examination of the career and character of Brookhart, Iowa's radical senator. He was labelled a socialist, a communist, a Bolshevik and a buffoon, but he offered a populist solution to the agricultural depression of the 1920s that advocated the formation of co-operatives.

This review is from: Smith Wildman Brookhart-95 (Hardcover)
I have just read this book, and can recommend it unreservedly. Brookhart's career is one of high interest and Father McDaniel has done an excellent job telling of it. I have long heard of the fantastic campaign of 1932 for U.S. Senator in Iowa, and this book relates the facts as to it, and as to all the other campaigns that Brookhart was in. A most worthwhile contribution to senatorial biography. I am glad it has been published.
