Dukakis and the reform impulse

Description:

"Authors Richard Gaines and Michael Segal offer an absorbing account of Michael Dukakis as a child growing up with strick, Greek immigrant parents ; as a young man coming of age at a time when his state was experiencing a profound shift away from ward politics to issue politics ; and as a governor who transformed himself from one of the most idealistic and ineffective governors in America into one of the most sophisticated and respected."--Inside jacket.
