With this monograph, the ever-productive Richard Lowitt analyzes the career of yet another western political leader—Oklahoma's Democratic U. S. Senator Fred Harris. Drawing largely upon the voluminous collection of the senator's papers in the Carl Albert Center at the University of Oklahoma, Lowitt has crafted a sympathetic account of Harris's senatorial years from 1964 to 1973 and of his brief yet impassioned campaigns for president in 1972 and 1976. Not a full scale biography, the book provides a concise background on Harris's early life and a brief summation of his subsequent career as a political scientist at the University of New Mexico. |
