Yep. Read it about twenty years ago in Wayne Parent's poli sci class. Interesting read.

Being 20 years ago..you might not be able to answer this question..but do you think I can skip around chapters?

It's an extremely interesting book that I didnt think I would enjoy..I just won't have time to read it

Just like everyone else, I read it about 20 yrs ago, actually 25 yrs ago. Black and white photos and all ---- a good read.

Next, you need to read Just Takin' Orders by Clyde Vidrine (Edwin Edwards' right hand man for a long time).

Next, read Cross to Bear by John Maginnis, for the inside scoop on the Governor's race between Edwards and David Duke.

Just Takin' Orders is a hell of a fun read. It's trashy, but it ain't dull

For sure. Edwin shuns alcohol usage.. Except when he soaks his dick in Scotch to cleanse between having having sex between 2 women in one night.

When I did my report, I jumped chatpers, but that was in a different book.


IDK if that would work for you. Good luck, slacker.
