Slander and Sweet Judgment: The Memoir of an Indiana Congressman

Andy Jacobs, Jr. went to the House of Representatives in 1964. He witnessed some of the major events in American history and this book records them: President Lyndon Johnson taking over for the fallen John F. Kennedy; fighting to end the Vietnam War; Civil rights legislation; President Richard Nixon’s doomed Presidency. The book is full of humorous and serious anecdotes which show democracy in action and the life of a great Hoosier politician/statesman.
