Politics of Trust

In "Politics of Trust," author Gordon E. Harvey delves into the impactful life and career of Reubin Askew, the Florida governor who famously defined leadership as the ability to communicate what the public needs to know, rather than just what they want to hear. This insightful exploration, published by The University of Alabama Press in 2023, spans 252 pages and reflects on what many consider the 'Golden Age' of Florida politics. Harvey's compelling narrative not only highlights Askew's contributions but also provides a broader understanding of trust in political leadership, particularly in the Southern states of the United States. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in political history and the dynamics of trust in governance.
