This
authorized biography of Senator Howell Heflin covers the life and times
of one of the most famous Alabama politicians ever.
A former chief justice of the
Alabama Supreme Court, Heflin earned national acclaim for his
reform of the state's judicial system. Heflin was also one of the
last of the Roosevelt-style progressive Democrats to serve in the U.S.
Senate. He brought a level of integrity and commitment to his
position, and was a key figure in many important and controversial
debates.
As Senator Ted Kennedy said,
"His story should be required reading for all citizens who believe
that one person can make a difference."
