SAMUEL B. HAND is professor emeritus of history at the University of Vermont. ANTHONY MARRO and STEPHEN C. TERRY both covered Hoff as reporters for Vermont newspapers. TERRY later became a U.S. Senate aide, managing editor of the Rutland (VT) Herald, and a utility executive. MARRO was editor of Newsday from 1987 until 2003.
"It would be hard to come up with a better-suited trio of authors
for this well-chosen topic . . . . Philip Hoff is at its best . . .
when it takes a thematic look at Hoff's tenure, particularly when
it examines tow issues in which the governor contrasted with,
rather than reflected, the political Zeitgeist -- war and race."--
"Valley News"
"This is a very thorough account of Hoff's political career, the
political dynamics of a rapidly changing Vermont in the 1960s, and
the implications of Hoff's governorship for Vermont politics and
policy after he left office. . . . Terry, Hand, and Marro are to be
commended for offering us this fact-filled and analytically rich
account of how Vermont politics and policy changed during six
eventful years during which Philip H. Hoff served as governor."--
