Title: The Improbable Wendell Willkie Author: David Levering Lewis Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: mp3 Length: 12 hrs and 49 mins Release date: 11-27-18 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 31 ratings Genres: Activists Publisher's Summary: In the wake of one of the most tumultuous conventions in Republican history, the party of Lincoln nominated in 1940 a prominent businessman and Wall Street attorney for president. Though Wendell Willkie would lose to FDR, David Levering Lewis reveals in this news-making reclamation that the story of this Hoosier-born corporate chairman's life is the story of an America that could have been. Popular for his down-home Midwestern charm and unaffected candor, Willkie possessed a supple intellect and a concealed disdain for political opportunism that, had he not died prematurely, would have revolutionized American politics with its advocacy of bipartisanship and social responsibility.
