  • サマリー

  • In 1968, the Democratic Party fractured. Anti-Vietnam War protesters clashed with police outside of the Democratic National Convention Hall in Chicago. Tear gas seeped into the hotel where candidates were staying. Party bosses handed pro-war Vice President Hubert Humphrey - who had not won a single primary - the nomination. It was also the moment that sparked a freshman Senator from South Dakota to launch his own bid for the presidency, one that four years later would reshape the American political landscape. Of The People is the story of the longshot, insurgent campaign of George McGovern in 1972. It transformed the American political parties and ushered in our age of division. McGovern is remembered as one of history's great political losers after his landslide defeat to Richard Nixon. But before that, was an incredible "heist" of the Democratic nomination - a tale of assassination, betrayal, last-minute comebacks, political sabotage, and parliamentary procedure. And it speaks to our most pressing political question: How have we grown so polarized?

あらすじ・解説

In 1968, the Democratic Party fractured. Anti-Vietnam War protesters clashed with police outside of the Democratic National Convention Hall in Chicago. Tear gas seeped into the hotel where candidates were staying. Party bosses handed pro-war Vice President Hubert Humphrey - who had not won a single primary - the nomination. It was also the moment that sparked a freshman Senator from South Dakota to launch his own bid for the presidency, one that four years later would reshape the American political landscape. Of The People is the story of the longshot, insurgent campaign of George McGovern in 1972. It transformed the American political parties and ushered in our age of division. McGovern is remembered as one of history's great political losers after his landslide defeat to Richard Nixon. But before that, was an incredible "heist" of the Democratic nomination - a tale of assassination, betrayal, last-minute comebacks, political sabotage, and parliamentary procedure.
