Produktinformationen zu „Birch Bayh (ePub)“
A biography of the US senator from Indiana who was behind such monumental legislation as the 25th Amendment and Title IX.
A remarkable history of one of the most legendary US senators of our time, Birch Bayh: Making a Difference reveals a life and career dedicated to the important issues facing Indiana and the nation, including civil rights and equal rights for women. Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, right before the Great Depression, Birch Bayh served more than 25 years in the Indiana General Assembly (1954-1962) and the United States Senate (1963-1981). His influence was seen in landmark legislation over his tenure, including Title IX, the 25th Amendment, the 26th Amendment, Civil Rights of the Institutionalized, Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention Act, and the Bayh-Dole Act. Bayh was also the author, chief Senate sponsor, and floor leader of the Equal Rights Amendment and successfully led the opposition to two Nixon nominees to the Supreme Court. Robert Blaemire profiles not only the prolific career of this remarkable senator but also an era when compromise and bipartisanship were common in Congress.
"Bayh has long needed a comprehensive biography, and Robert Blaemire has provided an insider's account of Bayh's life and career and places him among Indiana's leading political figures." -Ray E. Boomhower, author of Robert F. Kennedy and the 1968 Indiana Primary
"The story of Birch Bay's political career is completely inspiring, especially in an era that has lost touch with bipartisanship and civility. A must read for Hoosiers and for anyone interested in how democracy worked, when it really worked." -Ted Widmer, historian and former presidential speechwriter
