American Dreamer: the Life and Times of Henry A. Wallace
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
- Publish date: 02/01/2000
Description:
Henry Agard Wallace was a geneticist of international renown, a prolific author, a groundbreaking economist, & a businessman whose company paved th 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 embodiment 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 F. 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 remakable story of an authentic American dreamer.
