Culver, John C. & John Hyde American Dreamer The Life and Times of Henry A. Wallace
W. W. Norton & Company 2000 0393046451 / 9780393046458 First American Edition First Printing Hardcover As New in As New dust jacket
2000 stated first edition, first printing hardcover and dust jacket in fine/fine condition. Book is unread. Protective mylar cover. 1.83 x 9.53 x 6.52 Inches 608 pages 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.
