What is The Rise and Fall of the People’s Century: Henry A. Wallace and American Liberalism, 1941-1948 about?

Henry Wallace would have become president of the United States upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt if he had not been dropped from the Democratic ticket in 1944 in favor of Harry S. Truman. Markowitz reevaluates Wallace's career in the 1940s, and challenges those who saw him as either a Communist dupe, a tragic figure, or a visionary crackpot. Markowitz describes in depth Wallace's wartime liberal program for a world New Deal and his idea for the creation of an American social service state (the Century of the Common Man). He contrasts that program with the anti-Communist liberalism of post-war America.
