Henry Wallace and the World that Wasn't with Benn Steil
Dave Troy Presents
Henry Wallace and the Politics of the Common Man
This chapter explores Henry Wallace's influential speech, 'The Century of the Common Man,' which redefined the American narrative in contrast to Henry Luce’s vision. It examines Wallace's selection as vice president and the political tensions during his journey to China amidst World War II, revealing complex maneuvers within the Democratic Party. The chapter culminates in the chaotic 1944 Democratic National Convention, where Wallace's progressive ideals clashed with the party's strategic interests, ultimately leading to Harry Truman's nomination.
