Governor Culbert L. Olson is one of the most important and prominent men you have probably never heard of. Elected governor of California in 1938, he is noted for being the first Democratic governor of the state in over 40 years. His term spanned the years 1939 to 1943, years of tumult and trial for California and for all of America. It included the last part of America's Great Depression and the first part of World War II. Olson led California through this difficult time with a progressive agenda known as Olson's "New Deal for California."

Excellent biography, beautifully narrated

An interesting read for a California history buff or for those who take interest in how politics intertwine with religion in the United States. Fascinating tale that includes a detailed description of the religious background of Culbert Olson and of his successful political career as an atheist during a time when this was unheard of. The narration by Sean McElhiney is fluid and clear, it made the book a pleasure to listen to. A great listen - with something for everyone.

Excellent narration, tedious story
Revisado: 07-10-20
The narrator of this book gives a distinct and interesting voice for each character. What would otherwise be a drudging read was pleasant to listen to because of these characterizations. Voices given to the characters imparted the fear and pain in the story and helped to keep the story moving well for the listener. Otherwise, the story should come with trigger warnings and overlong unimportant backstory warnings.
