Description:

Bob Sikes' autobigraphy spans an era of incredible change. His boyhood in the impoverished rural South of kerosene lamps, outhouses and water toted in from the well, was followed by a meteroric career rise during the Depression and election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1940.

His 38 years in Congress encompassed the development of the nuclear world, computers, lasers and space travel Roosevelt was his first president, Jimmy Carter his last, and the years between were filled with colorful national and international characters. Famous or infamous, Sikes deals with them all candidly and sometimes irreverently. Inside stories of political power struggles and international crises are interwoven with lively tales of the good life in northwest Florida's Panhandle, and hunting and fishing adventures around the world.
