?Walker's volume, which derived from his Ph.D. dissertation, is a study of Henry A. Wallace's thinking on foreign policy. Beginning with Wallace's early years, Walker takes his readers through the disastrous 1948 Progressive party episode as well as into Wallace's waning years. The book is solidly researched, making good use of archival material.?-Choice
