Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legacy of a Governor carries Frank O'Bannon's story from a far corner of Indiana, in tiny Corydon, to the governor's mansion in Indianapolis. Years before securing his own legacy, OBannon was challenged to fulfill his family legacy. O'Bannon's grandfather, Lewis M. O'Bannon, an active Indiana Democrat, ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor in 1924. O'Bannon's father, Robert P. O'Bannon, perpetuated the family legacy, serving in the Indiana State Senate from 1950 to 1970. Growing up in Corydon, O'Bannon developed qualities of the quintessential Hoosier-honest, hardworking, amicable. The skill of listening, of taking everything in, would serve him well in politics. Finally, Legacy provides an inside view of September 8, 2003, the day O'Bannon suffered a massive stroke, as stunned officials in Indianapolis make arrangements to transfer power of Lt. Governor Joe Kernan while mourning a friend.

Book excerpt: After the Americans withdrew from the Vietnam War, their Indochinese allies faced imprisonment, torture and death under communist regimes. The Tai Dam, an ethnic group from northern Vietnam, campaigned for sanctuary, writing letters to 30 U.S. governors in 1975. Only Robert D. Ray of Iowa agreed to help. Ray created an agency to relocate the Tai Dam, advocated for the greater admission of "boat people" fleeing Vietnam, launched a Cambodian relief program that generated $540,000, and lobbied for the Refugee Act of 1980. Interviews with 30+ refugees and officials inform this study, which also chronicles how the Tai Dam adapted to life in the Midwest and the Iowans' divided response.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Legacy of Leadership, top scholars and journalists create a new framework for understanding the contributions governors have made to defining democracy and shaping American history. Structured chronologically, A Legacy of Leadership places governors in contrast and comparison with one another as well as within the context of their times to show how a century of dramatic developments—war and peace, depression and prosperity—led governors to rethink and expand their positions of leadership. The nine chapters of compelling new scholarship presented here connect the experiences of dynamic individual governors and the evolution of the gubernatorial office to the broader challenges the United States has faced throughout the turbulent twentieth century. Taken together, they demonstrate how interstate cooperation became essential as governors increasingly embraced national and international perspectives to promote their own states' competitiveness. Published for the centennial of the National Governors Association, A Legacy of Leadership is an eloquent demonstration of how, to a great extent, we live in a country that governors created.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over a long and successful career in politics, Tom Kean has shown himself a highly successful political leader. Through his ability to work with the opposition party while retaining the loyalty of his own, Kean was able to achieve extraordinary results in multiple roles. From his election to the New Jersey state assembly in 1967 through his guidance of the 9-11 Commission more than three decades later, Kean has displayed political dexterity as well as an uncanny knack for bipartisan leadership at times of deep partisan divisions." "In this first political biography of one of the nation's most popular and successful governors, Alvin S. Felzenberg tells the story of a remarkable career that culminated in an unexpected and crucial contribution to the country - chairmanship of the 9-11 Commission. Felzenberg describes how, early in his political career, Kean worked to transform New Jersey's legislature in the aftermath of court rulings that mandated redistricting in accordance with the "one man, one vote" principle. He relates how Kean was able to use the New Jersey governorship - purportedly the strongest in the country - to transform a so-called "rust belt" state into a leader in education, environmental responsibility, and economic growth. Kean's story serves as an uncommon case of how a Republican loyal to the historic roots and principles of his party can not only win election in a "blue state" but also effectively govern it." "Drawing on interviews with Kean as well as with state and national leaders, including former presidents Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton and former New York City mayor Ed Koch, Felzenberg provides a unique look at American politics during the last four decades of the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.
