by Claus Naske

Overview

Claus-M. Naske has written the first biography of the man who helped to make Alaska the forty-ninth state and who served as one of Alaska's first senators. More than a regional political history, the story of Bob Bartlett involves his opposition to U.S. involvement in Vietnam and his early warnings about the dangers posed by radiation.
