Hardback. Zustand: Good. McWherter, The Life and Career of Ned McWherter, is a biography of Tennessee Governor Ned McWherter (1930-2011) whose rise from sharecropper's cabin to the Governor's Residence is one of the most fascinating chapters of Tennessee political history in the late 20th Century. Written by Senior Policy Advisor Billy Stair and accompanied by dozens of historical photos, the book is the first in-depth look at McWherter's childhood in rural West Tennessee, his historic one-vote election as House Speaker that changed the balance of power of Tennessee politics, his election as Governor in one of Tennessee's most competitive statewide campaigns, and his two terms as Governor that witnessed one of the most progressive periods in the state's history.

A full analysis of government institutions embodied in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches is supplemented by added attention to county government and public administration.Fully up to date, this edition also provides key chapters on the media, political campaigns, and the rising dominance of the Republican Party in recent decades.
