Saint Mary’s Professor Wins CHOICE Book Award

NOTRE DAME, Ind.—A book written by Sean Savage, political science professor at Saint Mary’s College, won a 2005 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Award. CHOICE, which provides book reviews for academic libraries, honored fewer than ten percent of the 6,964 titles reviewed in 2005.
Savage’s book, “JFK, LBJ, and the Democratic Party,” is a comprehensive account of John F. Kennedy’s and Lyndon B. Johnson’s leadership of their political party in the 1960s.

CHOICE staff selects titles “for their excellence in scholarship and presentation, the significance of their contribution to the field, and their value as important,” according to information released by SUNY Press, publisher of Savage’s book. CHOICE reviews reach almost every undergraduate college and university library in the United States.
