McCarthy for President: The Candidacy That Toppled a President, Pulled a New Generation Into Politics, and Moved the Country Toward Peace by Arthur Herzog (Paperback / softback, 2003)
McCarthy for President: the words recall an endeavor both brash and quixotic, unpredicted and unpredictable, a political campaign of permanent interest to voters and historians alike. Even in defeat the McCarthy movement racked up considerable success: the dramatic toppling of the President, pressure to initiate the Paris peace talks, the political involvement of most of the young generation, and a massive re-examination of the Democratic Party.
