Fighting the Odds: The Life of Senator Frank Church

Ashby (history, Washington State U.) and Gramer, a seasoned Idaho journalist, combed archives and interviewed some 150 people to assemble a portrait of the esteemed senator. Church served in the Senate for 14 years (1957-1981), during which time he was active in the debates over civil rights, the Vietnam War (which he articulately opposed), presidential power, and FBI and CIA power.
