The Year of the People

Eugene J. McCarthy

4.9/5 (9296 ratings)

Description:This is a succinct statement of McCarthy's principles as well as a clearly-written election chronicle. He supplies his political background & traces his serious concern over Vietnam from '65 on as a self-evident answer to why he decided to run. After that it's from primary to primary with a shifting opposing cast--"I began to feel like a relay runner who after each lap had to face a different runner." Most disturbing to him was the Kennedy camp tactic of attacking & distorting his voting record which McCarthy takes pains to clarify. He hedges back & forth about whether Bobby was to blame but finally puts it down to bad advisors & RFK's too heavy reliance on them. Other campaign assertions that he sets straight for the record: he did indeed visit ghetto areas, there never was a Kennedy-McCarthy feud & he recalls quoting Sir Thomas More only once in all his talks. Those who admire the Senator's poetical as well as political leanings will not be disappointed, for the text is heavily spiked with his favorite pieces, including his own on-the-stump effort "Three Bad Signs". & of course there are constant & concluding accolades for the people, young & even old, who were the real story of the "New Politics".--KirkusWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
