Taft as one of the five most outstanding members ever to serve in that body. Clarence Wunderlin has applied his unexcelled command of Taft's vast documentary record to produce an engaging biography amply confirming the continuing appropriateness of the Senate's mid-century judgment. -- Richard A. Baker, author of The Senate of the United States: A Bicentennial History\u003cbr\u003eIn this biography, Wunderlin, who is editor\/project director of The Papers of Robert A. Taft, traces the career of this prominent Republican conservative. His 'civic nationalism' ideals and anti-New Deal positions are clearly relevant today. * Reference and Research Book News *\u003cbr\u003eWunderlin's account offers a useful contribution to scholarly literature by tracing the intellectual roots of Taft's political thought back to the nineteenth century. * H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online *\u003cbr\u003eWunderlin presents a concise, balanced portrait of my grandfather's life, clarifying the strong connections between his coherent political philosophy and his many policy positions.
