Witness to History: Tom Murphy and His Role in Georgia Politics is the story of the tenure of Thomas B. Murphy as Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives, told from the viewpoint of an insider. For the first time, an actual accounting of the historic political, economic, and social growth that Georgia experienced in the late twentieth century is examined from a behind-the-scenes standpoint. In the tradition of Secret Formula, Turning Point, and The Last Campaign, Witness to History is the first book to chronicle, from the inside, Speaker Murphy’s – and Georgia’s – rise to prominence, importance, and power.
