Titan of the Senate

Orrin Hatch and the Once and Future Golden Age of Bipartisanship

By: William Doyle

Narrated by: Kevin Stillwell

If greatness is measured by achievement, Orrin Hatch was the greatest U.S. senator of modern times—discover the life and career of the senator through archival material, original research, and exclusive interviews.

This is the dramatic story of a conservative champion who shaped modern America—by leading a Golden Age of Bipartisanship and passing more legislation than any other Senator in the post-Vietnam era. Senator Orrin Hatch co-wrote the most sweeping civil rights bill since the 1960s, launched a health insurance program for 25,000,000 uninsured children, co-created the generic drug industry, and championed the greatest HIV/AIDS legislation in American history, while sponsoring or co-sponsoring over 750 pieces of legislation. Based on interviews with Hatch and many of his Senate colleagues plus over 10,000 pages of research from the U.S. Senate Historian's files, this is also the story of a leader who envisions a New Golden Age of Bipartisanship for the future of American politics.

Bipartisanship

It is too bad that there are no longer collaborators like Ted Kennedy and Orrin Hatch to pass bipartisan legislation and get other things done this country so badly needs

Great biography

This was a very interesting biography of a great man and a great dynamic representative of the state of Utah. Also very interesting details of several monumental legislations. Well written
