George McGovern is an iconic political figure who helped shape the modern Democratic party. During his twenty-two years as a U.S. Congressman, he fought for the rights of rural Americans and became a staunch critic of the Vietnam War. After his 1972 run for president against Richard Nixon, McGovern went on to serve as the United Nations global ambassador on hunger.
"[McGovern] remains one of the country's most decent and thoughtful
public servants."
- Tom Brokaw, "The Greatest Generation"
"In a book that is far more serious-minded than some of those
written by actual 2012 presidential candidates, McGovern lays out a
series of ideas aimed at fixing the nation's job crisis, improving
health care and education and reducing the widening gap between the
rich and everyone else."
