In 1939 Harold E. Stassen was elected governor of Minnesota at age
31. He went on to a distinguished career as a key political figure
of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. In 1943 he resigned as governor to
enter the United States Navy at the height of World War II. In the
postwar years he participated in writing the charter of the United
Nations, and later served as a key diplomat in the Eisenhower
administration, very nearly achieving a nuclear test ban treaty
with the Soviet Union. He is perhaps most famously known as being a
perennial candidate for the Republican Party nomination for
President of the United States, seeking it 12 times between 1944
and 2000 (1944,1948, 1952, 1964, 1968, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988,
1992, 1996, and 2000), but never winning it. This book covers all
these activities.
