Synopsis

Mounger’s tale offers exclusive peeks into the grass-roots business, political, and cultural development of Mississippi and beyond. Using the lens of his life, Mounger offers historical and political stories that will entertain and enlighten. He was a high-school brawler and football star; a West Point graduate, B-50 pilot, and atom bomb commander; an oil-rig bug scrubber in Louisiana swamps turned oil tycoon and entrepreneur; a maker of United States congressmen and senators; a friend and funder of United States presidents; a promoter of ballet and other arts; a man of faith, many friends, and-yes-select enemies.
