Stratagems and Spoils. A Kansas politics collection
A批 review of William White’s Stratagems and Spoils from Charles Scribner. The five stories including The Man on Horseback and A Triumph’s Evidence probe populism and Kansas politics, mixing fact and fiction with sharp character sketches of Dan Gregg and other leaders. The critic calls the book truthful and well written yet pessimistic about politics, lacking any redeeming light.
