Will Rogers: A Political Life (2011)

Format: Hardcover ISBN: 9780896726765 Condition: Near Fine The book has a slight amount of shelf wear. Contents Description: When Will Rogers perished in a plane crash in Alaska in 1935, Americans lost their most popular and beloved humorist, a man who put smiles on their faces, took their minds off war and depression and, for a moment, allowed them to laugh at his cracker-barrel humor and ultimately themselves. But Americans also lost their most trusted source of reason, a man who, more than any other, broke down the complex issues of the day and gave them a critically honest appraisal of American politics and world affairs. - from the back cover
