A propos de cet article

"A painstaking and . . . admiring portrait" (Edward Kosner, Wall Street Journal) of Hubert Humphrey, one of the great liberal politicians of the twentieth century?An outstanding account of the life and accomplishments of a man who was my friend and my hero. This book captures Hubert Humphrey?s passion and unwavering commitment to our nation?s highest ideals.??President Jimmy Carter Hubert Humphrey (1911?1978) was one of the great liberal leaders of postwar American politics, yet because he never made it to the Oval Office he has been largely overlooked by biographers.

This definitive biography rediscovers one of America?s great political figures.…
