It assesses how Humphrey's loyalty to Lyndon Johnson, who emerges as the villain of the story in many ways, would negatively affect his political ambitions. And it engages the disconnect between Humphrey's principles and the intricate politics of his convoluted relationship with the president and his unsuccessful presidential campaign. It is a complex and frustrating narrative, the results of which would be tragic, not only for Humphrey's presidential aspirations, but also for the war in Southeast Asia and the future of the United States. 600 10 $a Humphrey, Hubert H. $q (Hubert Horatio), $d 1911-1978. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Election $y 1968. 830 0 $a Vietnam--America in the war years 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103015534.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8002BFEEDAA11EA9A34A78C36ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
