Coughlin, a Catholic priest from an industrial suburb near Detroit. Alan Brinkely describes their modest origins and their parallel rise together in the early years of the Great Depression to become the two most successful leaders of national political dissidence of their era. Voices of Protest won the American Book Award for History.
