Robert "Fighting Bob" La Follette (1855-1925) was one of the most significant leaders of American progressivism. Nancy Unger integrates previously unknown details from La Follette's personal life with important events from his storied political career, revealing a complex man who was a compelling mixture of failure and accomplishment, tragedy and triumph. Serving as U.S. representative from 1885 to 1891, governor of Wisconsin from 1901 to 1906, and senator from Wisconsin from 1906 to his death in 1925, La Follette earned the nickname "Fighting Bob" through his uncompromising efforts to reform both politics and society, especially by championing the rights of the poor, workers, women, and minorities. Based on La Follette family letters, diaries, and other papers, this biography covers the personal events that shaped the public man. In particular, Unger explores La Follette's relationship with his remarkable wife, feminist Belle Case La Follette, and with his sons, both of whom succeeded him in politics. The La Follette who emerges from this retelling is an imperfect yet appealing man who deserves to be remembered as one of the United States' most devoted and effective politicians.

Robert Marion La Follette, Sr., was voted as one of the top five senators in United States history. Yet he remains ever so slightly outside the mainstream of historical argument. Associated with the Progressive Era, he tends to fall behind Theodore Roosevelt, as he did in the 1912 campaign for the Republican nomination for President. The final chapters of this book represent a diary of that campaign. It is quite a story. Part of the myth of "Fighting Bob." But you might discover that that myth is not as mythical as it may appear. That the man stood apart from his fellow politicians because he was simply not of their kind. He was beloved in Wisconsin, not just because of his success. He was beloved because of how he achieved that success. An accomplished speaker, he chose to speak for the people of Wisconsin. Not the people who already had a voice, but those who didn't: the farmers, the workers, the women, the minorities, the rest of Wisconsin. When he talked about trusts, unlike Roosevelt, he actually wanted to do something about them. He talked about the Referendum, Recall and Initiative. He talked about them not as grand ideas, but as practical means of extending democracy to the people he represented. The only downfall of this book is that it was published in the middle of his career. But it still burns with the passions that informed that missing period. Annotations have been added to give you some understanding of the people mentioned in the text.
