A lifelong crusader for society's powerless, Senator Paul Douglas
championed reform and helped to bring civil rights issues to the
forefront of mid-twentieth-century American politics. During his
eighteen years in the U.S. Senate, his advocacy of liberal causes
brought him national recognition. In the eyes of many, Douglas
embodied the very ideals of the "Great Society." A man of
conscience and a stubborn defender of his core principles, Douglas
was nonetheless a patient legislator, and his fight to ensure equal
rights for African Americans lasted more than a decade. His fierce
independence won public respect but often strained relationships
with key party leaders, including Harry Truman, Adlai Stevenson,
and Lyndon Johnson. Covering the full span of Douglas's life-from
his youth and early work at Hull House in Chicago to his leadership
in the Senate-Crusading Liberal illuminates the life and times of
the man Martin Luther King Jr. called "the greatest of all
senators." This highly readable biography illustrates the struggle
to provide equal opportunity and protection under law to all
Americans.
