The Stevensons: A Biography of an American Family (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780393315981)

Jean H. Baker tells the compelling story of four generations of an American family and its most celebrated member, the high-minded, eloquent, and perennial also-ran icon of liberal politics, Adlai Ewing Stevenson II (1900-1965). The Stevensons is also a book about the relationship of a family to its times: With Baker's characteristically deft blend of the public and private, set on a broad canvas, the Stevenson story becomes an American saga.

Baker's biography affords [Stevenson's] life a depth, historical and personal, that few other writers have acknowledged (Kirkus Reviews).
