IOWAin the process and consequently lost the senatorial election the same year to Joseph R. McCarthy.This book, although not differing strikingly from previous interpretations, is stimulating, cogently presented, well-documented, and informative.Maney utilizes a wide variety of sources, employing the La Follette and other manuscript collections, interviews, government publications, newspapers, periodicals, and pertinent secondary sources.This reviewer particularly found it interesting that La Follette confronted repeated illnesses, enjoyed politics very little, opposed the red menace in the 1946 campaign more than did McCarty, and had such strained relations with his brother Phil.Maney might have devoted more attention to La Follette's years before and after he served in the Senate and to his significant role on foreign policy before the outbreak of World War 11.Other major senatorial collections, such as the vast Hiram W. Johnson Papers at the University of California, Berkeley may have furnished additional insight on La Follette's role in the isolationist bloc.This book, however, is a very fine biography and should be read by those interested in American political, economic, and social history from 1925 to 1946 and particularly by those studying either the United States Senate or Wisconsin politics.Scholars will find the bibliographical note especially valuable
