Rich and straightforward stories of political tomfoolery, vote buying and the eventual victory for JFK in the Mountain States primary, which is often sited as the most important and vital win for Senator Kennedys run for the White House, is offered. The book features interviews and discussions with several Mountain State political kingpins from yesteryear. They disclose vivid memories of working directly with John, Bobby and Ted Kennedy and family, and with Hubert Humphrey and other politicos of the time. These influential Democratic factional commandoesClaude Ellis, Raymond Chafin, Dan Dahill, Mel Cottone and others like themtell interesting and sometimes humorous stories about growing up in poverty stricken southern West Virginia.
