Hubert H. Humphrey: The Art of the Possible

For the last half of the 20th century, America was consumed by two struggles: the civil rights movement and the cold war. For 30 years, Hubert Humphrey stood at the center of both. As a soldier of the New Deal and the Great Society, he amassed one of the most prolific legislative records in senate history, sponsoring hundreds of billsfrom Medicare to the Peace Corps to the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
