Booth Who?: A Biography of Booth Gardner, Washington's Charismatic 19th Governor

by John C. Hughes

Overview

From his first campaign, and upset vicotry for the State Senate in 1970, to his last, a 2008 landslide that saw Washington become the second state in the nation to allow assisted suicide, Booth Gardner has been a relentlessly analyzed collection of contradictions.

No publis figure in Washington State history has been written about so intensely for so long. Booth Gardner is truly a Washington citizen who has moved our state forward. He continues to challenge us with initiatives that force us to look at the tough problems of today.

"Booth Who?" presents an engaging biography of Washington's charismatic 19th governor.
