Book Talk and Signing with Author James Traub In-Person
Book Talk and Signing with James Traub, author of True Believer: Hubert Humphrey’s Quest for a More Just America.
Veteran Journalist James Traub reintroduces the largely forgotten but highly significant vice-president and US Senator, Hubert Humphrey, whose shattering defeat in the 1968 presidential election cast a shadow over his achievements. In 1948 Humphrey defied segregationists and forced the Democratic party to commit itself to civil rights and as a senator in 1964, he made good on that commitment by shepherding the Civil Rights Act through Congress.
Traub has written for many publications including the New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, and Foreign Policy. He now teaches foreign policy and intellectual history at NYU Abu Dhabi. He has authored eight previous books on foreign and domestic affairs.
Copies of True Believer will be available for purchasing and signing.
