Henry A. Wallace Quotes
Where I Was Wrong
Wallace had been a supporter of Russia throughout WWII and thought that on balance the Russian Revolution was a constructive historical event. He was very naive naïve the excess of Stalin and thought that the reports of his atrocities and excesses were propaganda.

Eisenhower for President which added to some of the radical right wing distrust of Eisenhower.
