"A fascinating portrait of activism deepened and sustained by
Herculean labors of research and investigation."-The Nation
Historian Kevin Starr described Carey McWilliams as "the finest
nonfiction writer on California-ever" and "the state's most astute
political observer." But as Peter Richardson argues, McWilliams was
also one of the nation's most versatile and productive public
intellectuals of his time. Richardson's absorbing and elegant
biography traces McWilliams's extraordinary life and career.
Drawing from a wide range of sources, it explores his childhood on
a Colorado cattle ranch, his early literary journalism in Los
Angeles, his remarkable legal and political activism, his stint in
state government, the explosion of first-rate books between 1939
and 1950, and his editorial leadership at The Nation. Along the
way, it also documents McWilliams's influence on a wide range of
key figures, including Cesar Chavez, Hunter S. Thompson, Mike
Davis, screenwriter Robert Towne, playwright Luis Valdez, and
historian Patricia Limerick.
