Textul de pe ultima copertă

Professor James H. Madison has brought together a distinguished group of historians; four of them look at Willkie's role in Indiana and in American politics and business, and three others discuss Willkie's role in Indiana and in American politics and business, and three others discuss Willkie in a world perspective. The portrait of Willkie that emerges is far from that of the barefoot farm boy. He was a sophisticated, intelligent, exuberant American who somehow seemed to express the postwar optimism that suffused our culture as well as our hope for a new democratic world order. This is an important book for anyone interested in Willkie and American history.
