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.".

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: 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).

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. xi, [1], 608 pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Inscribed by the author (Culver) on the half-title page. The inscription reads For Marilyn--Best from her :"workout" buddy -- John Culver. This biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt' s first vice president, Henry Agard Wallace (1888-1965), draws extensively from personal letters and journals, family papers, and archival documents. Before his vice presidency, Wallace served as secretary of agriculture. He remained in politics after Roosevelt's death, and was Truman's secretary of commerce. He ran for president. Wallace was also responsible for innovations in agricultural genetics, and in 1952 wrote a book entitled Why I Was Wrong. Culver, former US senator and representative, and journalist Hyde note the paradox that Wallace (1885-1965) was the son of prominent midwestern Republicans but became the emblematic leftist politician of his time. The great politician, agriculturalist, economist, author, and businessmanloved and reviled, and finally now revealed. The great politician, agriculturalist, economist, author, and businessmanloved 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. First Edition [stated]. Second Printing [stated per printing line].
