As a three-term member of Congress and as the secretary of the
interior in the Kennedy and Johnson cabinets (1961–1969), Stewart
L. Udall (1920–2010) was a distinguished public servant and one
of the great environmental leaders in US history. This book, the
first biography of Udall, introduces his work to a new generation
of Americans concerned with the environment. The author traces the
influences on Udall’s career, the evolution of his views on
conservation, and his setbacks as well as his triumphs. In addition
to his efforts to preserve wilderness areas and protect the planet,
Udall advocated reforming the seniority system in Congress,
limiting the production and testing of nuclear weapons, promoting
coexistence with the Soviet Union, and helping oppressed peoples in
emerging nations. A visionary leader, Udall was inspired by his
pioneering Mormon forebears who helped settle the Arizona high
plateau, where he first connected with the natural world.
