The Governor's Mansion by Robert Laxalt
"This concluding volume of Robert Laxalt's acclaimed Basque family Trilogy focuses on Leon, the eldest son. When Leon becomes the governor of Nevada in the 1960's, his life and that of his family change forever. The sotry contrasts the traditional values of Nevada's small towns and cowboy backcountry against the power of entrenched officeholders who dominate Nevada politics and the glitz and corruption of Las Vegas. The crisis of Leon's budding career arises when he needs to protect his state's autonomy in the face of federal efforts to remove the Mafia from the state's gambling industry. The novel is both candid, revealing view of an imigrant family caught up in unfamiliar territory and richly original, intimate view of American politics."
