A propos de cet article

Paperback. The story of a power struggle that dominated Florida politics for decadesThe power struggle between Claude Pepper and Ed Ball in the mid-twentieth century impacted the future of Florida. This lively account of their interlocking careersboth dominated by a personal quest for power, money, and purposeilluminates the historical role of these two forceful personalities.Ed Ball, brother-in-law of Alfred I. duPont and trustee of the duPont empire, was at one time the single most powerful businessman in the state. Claude Pepper, a senior U.S. senator, was the states heir to the liberal legacy of New Deal politics. By mid-century, the duPont-Ball empire controlled a major part of the Florida business and political establishment-but not Claude Pepper.Tracy Danese, whose law career often brought him into close contact with Florida's political scene, describes the economic setting in Florida when Ball and Pepper arrived in the twenties and the prelude to their conflicts, and shows how their careers developed in tandem throughout the depression era and World War II and its aftermath. He discusses milestones in this story: Peppers unopposed election in 1936, influenced by corruption in Hillsborough County politics in the 1934 senate election; conflict between Pepper and Ball over the presidential veto of a 1944 war funding measure; their acrimonious struggle over ownership of the Florida East Coast Railway; the famous railroad strike that led to measures that forced the duPont trust to divest itself of the largest banking chain in Florida; and their final titanic clash over the senatorial election of 1950.With a strange blend of principled behavior and personal ambition, the men personified the ambiguous nature of politics. Ed Ball adamantly upheld what he viewed as his property rights; Pepper unabashedly sought political power. This story will be welcomed by historians, political scientists, and general readers alike. This book tells the story of the power struggle between Claude Pepper, a senior US senator, and Ed Ball, trustee of the duPont empire, that impacted the future of Florida in the mid-twentieth century.
