John Hill for the state of Texas

"During his distinguished career, John L. Hill Jr. served as secretary of state, attorney general, and chief justice of the state supreme court - the only person who ever held all three state offices. This vivid new personal account brings to life the contentious issues that grabbed the attention of Texas government in the turbulent 1970s. John Hill for the State of Texas displays in dramatic detail the personalities, the high-stakes outcomes, and the powerful forces arrayed against Hill and his staff as they sought justice for the people of Texas. It is a must-read for anyone interested in modern Texas politics and history, biography, or modern legal history."--BOOK JACKET.
