- Seventeen years in the writing, this book is based on 54 manuscript collections in 29 archives in 16 states. It shows how a southern racial moderate from the isolated Hill Country of Tennessee, navigated the destruction of a one-party system based on segregation and black disfranchisement in the 32 years he served in Congress. It highlights the federal government infrastructure that modernized the South: especially, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the building of a national interstate highway system. Gore’s biography shows how a committed Cold War internationalist, became one of the most visible critics of the Vietnam War.
