This book introduces social scientists to the ideas of George Herbert Mead (1863-1931) - one of the most original yet neglected thinkers of early twentieth-century social thought. Based on Mead's published and unpublished writings, this collection is the first one-volume edition of his writings that critically assesses what counts as Mead's writings and what aspects are central to his system of thought.

Much of the collection is campaign specific, dealing with the elections of President Truman and Iowa's governor Herschel Loveless. The papers include letters from: S.J. Galvin, Guy M. Gillette, John R. Hansen, Clyde L. Herring, Nelson Kraschel, Herschel C. Loveless, and Harry Truman.
