A deeper look at the bigger than life person of Alabama Governor George Wallace.
Synopsis
A sensitive, informed and funny feat of high journalism that is a classic of the kind. The New York Times Book Review
Wallace is a classic portrait of one of the century s most fiery and controversial political figures. Initially conceived as a novel, Marshall Frady s biography of George Wallace retains the narrative force and descriptive powers of fiction. Elizabeth Hardwick noted on Wallace s first publication in 1968, There is a palpable Faulknerian mood to the reporting, and The New Republic observed, Frady has established new standards in political biography. This is a wonderfully crafted depiction of a seminal figure whose influence altered the course of national politics."
