In "Harold E. Stassen: The Life and Perennial Candidacy of the Progressive Republican," co-author John F. Rothmann writes about the life of a man who was elected governor, served in the United States Navy during World War Two, was involved in writing the United Nations charter, and ran as a candidate for president ten times over many decades. The book was co-written by Alec Kirby and David G. Dalin. This discussion took place on a 2013 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" originating in San Francisco, California.
