Homer E. Capehart: A Senator's Life, 1897-1979

Homer E. Capehart's life is a remarkable success story. Lacking any formal education beyond high school, Capehart was a self-made millionaire by the 1930s. Turning to politics, he made a career out of opposition to big government and support for an anti-interventionist foreign policy.
