Description
Senator Charles "Mac" Mathias was a Republican who defied expectations in heavily Democratic Maryland, winning every election over a 26-year congressional career. His courageous approach to politics led efforts to advance civil rights, voting rights, environmental initiatives, and establish the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
A vocal critic of the Vietnam War and advocate for nuclear arms control, Middle East peace, and sanctions against apartheid South Africa, Mathias' story is one of a leader who followed his conscience and acted on principle. This book tells his remarkable career, highlighting the importance of standing by principle in politics.
