The son of prominent Midwestern Republicans, he would grow up to become the emblematic leftist politician of his time. Well known as a shy man, uncomfortable in the world of politics, Wallace only narrowly missed becoming president of the United States. Beloved by millions as the Prophet of the Common Man, and reviled by millions more as a dangerous, misguided radical, Wallace lived in fractious times, and his historical legacy has become a topic of harshly polarized interpretations." "With American Dreamer, John C. Culver and John Hyde at last do justice to this infinitely complicated and controversial American. We are given Wallace the agriculturist of international renown, Wallace the prolific author, Wallace the groundbreaking economist, and finally Wallace the businessman whose company (eventually worth billions) paved the way for a worldwide agricultural revolution. But Culver and Hyde do more than investigate the complex personality of their subject. They bring to life with novelistic intensity the pivotal era in which Wallace lived.".…

Paperback. Condición: New. The great politician, agriculturalist, economist, author, and businessman-loved and reviled, and finally now revealed. The first full biography of Henry A. Wallace, a visionary intellectual and one of this century's most important and controversial figures. Henry Agard Wallace was a geneticist of international renown, a prolific author, a groundbreaking economist, and a businessman whose company paved the way for a worldwide agricultural revolution. He also held two cabinet posts, served four tumultuous years as America's wartime vice president under FDR, and waged a quixotic campaign for president in 1948. Wallace was a figure of Sphinx-like paradox: a shy man, uncomfortable in the world of politics, who only narrowly missed becoming president of the United States; the scion of prominent Midwestern Republicans and the philosophical voice of New Deal liberalism; loved by millions as the Prophet of the Common Man, and reviled by millions more as a dangerous, misguided radical. John C. Culver and John Hyde have combed through thousands of document pages and family papers, from Wallace's letters and diaries to previously unavailable files sealed within the archives of the Soviet Union. Here is the remarkable story of an authentic American dreamer. A Washington Post Best Book of the Year. 32 pages of b/w photographs. "A careful, readable, sympathetic but commendably dispassionate biography."-Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Los Angeles Times Book Review "In this masterly work, Culver and Hyde have captured one of the more fascinating figures in American history."-Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of No Ordinary Time "Wonderfully researched and very well written.an indispensable document on both the man and the time."-John Kenneth Galbraith "A fascinating, thoughtful, incisive, and well-researched life of the mysterious and complicated figure who might have become president."-Michael Beschloss, author of Taking Charge: The Johnson White House Tapes, 1963-1964 "This is a great book about a great man. I can't recall when-if ever-I've read a better biography."-George McGovern"[A] lucid and sympathetic portrait of a fascinating character. Wallace's life reminds us of a time when ideas really mattered."-Evan Thomas, author of The Very Best Men: The Early Years of the CIA"Everyone interested in twentieth-century American history will want to read this book."-Robert Dallek, author of Flawed Giant "[T]he most balanced, complete, and readable account."-Walter LaFeber, author of Inevitable Revolutions "At long last a lucid, balanced and judicious narrative of Henry Wallace.a first-rate biography."-Douglas Brinkley, author of The Unfinished Presidency"A fine contribution to twentieth-century American history."-James MacGregor Burns, author of Dead Center: Clinton-Gore Leadership and the Perils of Moderation "[E]minently readable.a captivating chronicle of American politics from the Depression through the 1960s."-Senator Edward M.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good+. 1st Edition. Inscribed First Edition, First Printing of this definitive biography one of the central and most intriguing figures of the New Deal era -- replaced Vice President, Cabinet official and rogue progressive, Henry A. Wallace. Wallace was an agricultural innovator, economist and arguably the most leftist of key New Dealers. Accomplishment and popularity landed him on the 1940 Democratic ticket and the post of Vice President in President Franklin D. Roosevelt's third term. In advance of the 1944 election, Roosevelt left the second spot on ticket up to the Democratic convention where conservative delegates, spooked at the prospect of Wallace succeeding the ailing Roosevelt, aligned behind then Sen. Harry S. Truman. Wallace fell much shorter of the Presidency in 1948 when he ran as a third party Progressive candidate. Wallace cleaving the New Deal coalition contributed to Truman's underdog status. Inscribed by co-author John Culver -- a former U.S. Senator from Iowa -- to previous owners on the half title page. 608 pages, illustrated. Has tanning and a bit of foxing on the page edges, also has a previous owner bookplate on the front pastedown page. Signed by Author(s). …
