AGAINST THE GRAIN. Reflections of a Rebel Republican

Ashland: White Cloud Press, 2001. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in bright slick red cloth over boards with gilt spine lettering in a near fine jacket. Signed and inscribed by Hatfield on the title page. Oregon Senator Mark Hatfield has consistently offered integrity and vision in a culture groping for meaning. Here, he reveals compelling insights on his half century of public service. He offers hope, purpose, and perspective for the critical years ahead. His political life has been punctuated by strong stands; as Governor he was against the death (truncated) penalty, he was the lone Governor in the nation vocally opposing Johnson's administration's Vietnam policy. As a senator he opposed the military-industrial complex and the violence of the arms race. He also fought for housing, employment, education and basic human dignity. 254 pages illustrated
from photographs. (Inventory #: 15098)
