The book outlines Hum phrey's belief and practice during the great civil rights struggles of the century and tells emphatically where he stands as he faces the political battle of his life. The Vice President prefaces his dramatic account of the period with the declaration: "My record on this issue in cludes the proudest moments of my public career. I would not deny that record, or change it, or tone it down, even If I could." And whatever the outcome of his effort to continue Ame rica's movement toward full equality for all its citizens, he added "I want it to be said then, of Hubert Humphrey: He stood by what he believed."
