In 1987, Senator Claude Pepper wrote an autobiography detailing his beginnings in a rural Alabama farmhouse and his time fighting for his progressive ideals in Washington and beyond.
Eyewitness to a Century is “an insider’s view of the 20th Century – of epic events, of great personalities and scoundrels, of political chicanery behind closed doors, of the progress of a nation. It is the inspiring tale of a rare man whose politics are shaped by rock-ribbed principle. Above all, Pepper is resounding proof that one citizen can make a difference.”
