Author Chris Carlson served as press secretary to former Idaho Governor Cecil D. Andrus for ten years and has written a book about entitled Cecil Andrus: Idaho’s Greatest Governor.   The book recounts an insider’s view of events that happened in the 10 years he worked for the “good, great former governor.” Elected to four terms covering 14 years with a 10-year break between the first six years and the second eight years, Carlson writes,  "Andrus is without question the longest serving, most influential political practitioner to ever hold Idaho’s reins."

Carlson adds, "When a reader is finished with this book, I can only hope those that know him will say “Yup, that’s Cece.” Those that don’t at least will feel they have met and gotten better acquainted with him. Even 16 years after leaving office, according to almost all polls, Andrus remains the most popular and best known hunter/ fisherman in the state. Many believe he could easily win the governor’s chair again."  For more info on the book, follow the link.
