Son of California political royalty who forged his own political style against the tumultuous backdrop of a huge, balkanized state--and shoved to and fro by complex currents--Jerry Brown plumbed his visionary impulses as well as his grandiose ambitions. McFadden traces Brown's childhood in San Francisco, his time studying for the priesthood, his unusual political career, and his romances--including a long-term relationship with singer Linda Ronstadt. He describes Brown's first two terms as governor advocating for farm workers, women and minorities, his time roaming the world in a spiritual quest, and his return to the gritty world of politics as chairman of the California Democratic Party and then mayor of Oakland. Political experts weigh in with thoughts about the remarkable 2010 campaign that saw the 72-year-old Brown winning his third term in office while being vastly outspent by Republican Meg Whitman. Concise, insightful, and enlivened by the events and personalities that colored the history of California, Trailblazer provides an intimate portrait of the pugnacious, adept politician who has bucked national trends to become a leader of one of the largest economies in the world. 000467465 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000467465 60010 $$aBrown, Jerry,$$d1938- 000467465 650_0 $$aGovernors$$zCalifornia$$vBiography. 000467465 651_0 $$aCalifornia$$xPolitics and government$$y1951- 000467465 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMcFadden, Chuck, 1937-$$tTrailblazer$$dBerkeley : University of California Press, c2013$$z9780520275638$$w(DLC) 2012033542$$w(OCoLC)808245070 000467465 8520_ $$bacq 000467465 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000467465 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000467465 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1126278$$zOnline Access 000467465 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1126278$$zOnline Access 000467465 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:467465$$pGLOBAL_SET 000467465 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000467465 980__ $$aBIB 000467465 982__ $$aEbook 000467465 983__ $$aOnline
