<p>This updated classic book introduces readers to all of Illinois' chief executives, from Shadrach Bond to Rod Blagojevich, and concludes that they were a cross section of the political ideas and social attitudes of their times. Today, perhaps more than ever, we face questions about the abilities and ethics of our elected officials. We have no crystal balls to guide us. Instead, our state offers lessons from a rich and colorful history punctuated by the life stories of the mostly good and competent governors of Illinois.</p>
