Larry Gragg

Larry Gragg is Curators’ Teaching Professor of History and Chair of the Department of History and Political Science at Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla. For the past two decades he has made an annual pilgrimage to Las Vegas and wistfully echoes a familiar sentiment: “The reason I like Las Vegas is because it’s almost all the things that I am not.” He is the author of six other books, most recently John F. Kennedy: A Biography.
