Through extensive research and interviews with Glass's family and colleagues, Palmer paints a vivid portrait of a complex and influential figure in American history.Overall, Carter Glass: Unreconstructed Rebel is a fascinating and insightful biography of a man who played a significant role in shaping the political and economic landscape of the United States.
