Letters to the editor of The Capital.
U.S. Sen. Daniel B. Brewster from Maryland didn’t want the task, but accepted it out of loyalty to then President Lyndon B. Johnson.
John A. Frece’s book on former Maryland Sen. Daniel B. Brewster is sensitive to the personal torment of the war hero and one-time golden boy of state politics.
Aided by his privilege, connections, and status as a war hero, he eventually was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates, the U.S. House, and finally, the U.S. Senate, where he was an ally of Presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. Along the way, he becomes dangerously addicted to alcohol, which had plagued his own father and other family members.
