From a two-time Pulitzer-winning historian comes an insightful, compelling portrait (New York Times Book Review) of Wendell Willkie, the businessman-turned-presidential candidate.
Hailed as the definitive biography of Wendell Willkie (Irwin F. Gellman), The Improbable Wendell Willkie offers an engrossing and enlightening appraisal (Ira Katznelson) of a prominent businessman and Wall Street attorney presidential candidate who could have saved America's sclerotic political system. Although Willkie lost to FDR in 1940, acclaimed historian David Levering Lewis demonstrates that the story of this Hoosier- born corporate chairman's life is a powerful reminder of practical bipartisanship, visionary internationalism, and committed civil liberties and civil rights (Katrina vanden Heuvel). Popular for his downhome mid-western charm and unaffected candor, Willkie possessed a supple intellect and a concealed disdain for political opportunism that, had he not died prematurely, would have revolutionized American politics with its advocacy of bipartisanship and social responsibility. Meticulously researched and brilliantly written (Douglas Brinkley), The Improbable Wendell Willkie brings the now largely unknown Willkie to a new generation (The New Yorker), reclaiming the legacy of an American icon.
