This is the story of Mike Mansfield's 15-year reign as Senate Majority Leader. During that time, he witnessed many important events: the election of John F. Kennedy; the Kennedy and King assassinations; student and political unrest; Vietnam; and Watergate and the Nixon resignation.
This book is about Mike Mansfield and the U.S. Senate during the period that he served as majority leader. For eight consecutive two-year terms, Mansfield's leadership went uncontested. Extending from 1961 through 1976, it began when John F. Kennedy succeeded Dwight D. Eisenhower, continued through the Johnson and Nixon administrations, and ended only with Mansfield's retirement during the presidency of Gerald Ford.
