Hubert Humphrey
One of the great liberal politicians of the twentieth century, rediscovered in an important, definitive biography Hubert Humphrey (1911–1978) was one of the great liberal leaders of postwar American politics, yet because he never made it to the Oval Office he has been largely overlooked by biographers. His career encompassed three well†‘known high points: the civil rights speech at the 1948 Democratic Convention that risked his political future; his shepherding of the 1964 Civil Rights Act through the Senate; and his near†‘victory in the 1968 presidential election, one of the angriest and most divisive in the country’s history. Historian Arnold A. Offner has explored vast troves of archival records to recapture Humphrey’s life, giving us previously unknown details of the vice president’s fractious relationship with Lyndon Johnson, showing how Johnson colluded with Richard Nixon to deny Humphrey the presidency, and describing the most neglected aspect of Humphrey’s career: his major legislative achievements after returning to the Senate in 1970. This definitive biography rediscovers one of America’s great political figures.

Roman Camps in England
This text concentrates on the temporary Roman camps that were constructed, of which over 130 have been discovered in England. In this study, each of the camps is described and illustrated with photographs and plans. An introductory essay sets out how the army chose the site for each camp, and the ways in which the lie of the land affected the design of the defences. This book should be of interest to all those who wish to know more about the archaeology of the Roman Empire, the practicalities of ancient warfare and the workings of the military mind.
