Battleground 1948
Truman, Stevenson, Douglas and the Most Surprising Election in Illinois History
The election year of 1948 remains one of the most astonishing in US political history. During this first general election after World War II, Americans looked to their governments for change. As the battle for the nation's highest office came to a head in Illinois, the state was embroiled in its own partisan showdowns. In Battleground 1948, Robert E. Hartley focuses on the races that ushered Adlai Stevenson, Paul Douglas, and Harry Truman into office, and offers the first comprehensive chronicle of this historic election year and its consequences.
