| Резюме: |
A reformer who was always colorful, provocative, and controversial, Dan Walker became a political maverick, winning two tough elections to become governor of Illinois. Having once sat at the pinnacle of power in Illinois as the state's chief executive, Walker later found himself behind the bars of a federal prison following his conviction on charges of bank fraud. The Maverick and the Machine tells the dramatic story of Walker's rise from dirt-poor beginnings to successful trial lawyer, business executive, and governor of Illinois. |
