Rick Perry, the charming rancher, pilot, and politician from West Texas, is one of the most important but polarizing figures in Texas history. Hugging the arc of Texas political change, he shifted from a rural, “blue dog” Democrat to one of the most conservative politicians the state had elected, and became the state's longest-serving governor. Join University of Houston professor and author Brandon Rottinghaus in discussion with attorney Tim Herman about his book Rick Perry: A Political Life, both a biography of Perry and a study of the shifts in state politics during his time in office.
