When George McGovern lost the 1972 presidential election, Richard Nixon's landslide victory buried more than an insurgent campaign. Drawing on interviews with dozens of participants--including McGovern himself--who share a wealth of anecdotes and insights, Miroff traces the insurgency to the political struggles of the sixties, explores McGovern's ideology, and assesses the Republican attack politics that linked McGovern to "acid, amnesty, and abortion.".
