- Summary:
- [A] well-researched account. ... [Shaw] points out weaknesses in Lugar's career, particularly what many view as his failure to speak up against the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Despite this and other legislative disappointments, Shaw gives a convincing description of Lugar's 'considerable legislative legacy.' Book jacket.
