Mercer University Press: The Governors of Georgia

The Governors of Georgia

James Cook

Third revised and expanded edition

This classic book on the Governors of Georgia is now available including the governorships of Zell Miller, Roy Barnes, and Sonny Perdue. Perfect for class-room use, this readable and reliable text is newly typeset and includes new photographs.

“James Cook has provided a much-needed volume – one that fills a major
void in Georgia’s written record.…The sketches are clear and concise, and
a picture is provided for most entries.…the book is a welcome addition to
Georgia collections.”

—Georgia Librarian

“This volume will make it easier to find an overall view or specific facts on any governor. It should be especially helpful in public school libraries.”

—Kenneth Coleman, Georgia Historical Quarterly

“[Governors of Georgia] …is both interesting reading and a solid piece of
research.”

—Emory Magazine

“History teachers should be able to make good use of graphic details
in Governors of Georgia in their efforts to transform a potentially
dull, over factual discipline into what history actally is – dramas of
life.…This book is an ideal gift for history buffs.”

—Atlanta Historical Society Journal
