| Summary |
"'Professor Berman' provides a unique and conversational contribution to Minnesota history and a revealing memoir of the late University of Minnesota professor, Hy Berman, who was one of the state's most well-known and beloved political observers. The book is a collection of Berman's stories that have been gathered and curated by longtime Twin Cities journalist, Jay Weiner. From Berman's life as a young Communist to his friendship with, and political advising to Governor Rudy Perpich, from his brush with some of the 20th century's top historians to his groundbreaking lectures in 1980s China, from his close, personal understanding of Hubert Humphrey to his rejection of esoteric scholarship, 'Professor Berman' is a conversational self-portrait of the incomparable University of Minnesota historian, Hy Berman"-- Provided by publisher |
