If Only: George McGovern and the America That Might Have Been

An intimate biography of American statesman and 1972 presidential candidate George McGovern by one of his closest friends. "James Armstrong has created a remarkable portrait of George McGovern as not only a legendary Senator and Presidential candidate. but as a Liberator bomber pilot in World War II, a history professor, a political party reformer. and a champion of comprehensive efforts to feed the world.   "As our nation once again begins to search for our next President,. Armstrong's theme "if only, if only", with George McGovern as a shining example should spur our determination to work much harder to make the best choice."   Richard G. Lugar United States Senate (Ret.).
