Lifting Prairie Statesman first volume of the biography of the main Democratic candidate in 1972 presidential, who became in America the most eloquent and prescient critic of the Vietnam War. In this masterful book, Thomas Knock traces the life of George McGovern from his boyhood village in the prairie town of South Dakota during the Great Depression before he came to the top of the policy at the National Convention of the Democratic Party in 1968 in Chicago, where the police and anti-war demonstrators clashed in the streets,
Relying extensively on private work and a lot of in-depth interviews McGovern in Knock shows how important McGovern to the Democratic Party and American liberalism has spread far beyond his 1972 presidential campaign, and as the history of postwar American policy is more than just the rise of the New Right . He vividly describes the harrowing mission McGovern over Nazi Germany as a pilot of a bomber B-24, and shows how the combat experience McGovern prompted him to earn a doctorate in history and stoked his ambition to run for Congress. When President Kennedy appointed him director of the restaurant world in 1961, McGovern Engineering huge expansion of school lunch initiative program that fed tens of millions of starving children in the near future all over the world. As a senator, he has put his courageous and relentless criticism of the escalation of Lyndon Johnson in Vietnam # 8212; a conflict that brought his party to disaster and caused a new generation of Democrats McGovern turn to for leadership.
A stunning achievement, Rebellion prairie Statesman ends in 1968, as a result of the assassination of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, when the movement "McGovern project" thrust him into the national spotlight and competition for the presidential nomination, culminating in his triumphant re-election to the Senate.
