Arnold A. Offner. Hubert Humphrey: The Conscience of the Country
Hubert Humphrey disappeared from public memory all too soon. Instead of undertaking a general history of the postwar years, therefore, Arnold A.

Not in My Neighborhood: How Bigotry Shaped a Great American City
In Not in My Neighborhood, the veteran Baltimore journalist Antero Pietila documents in fine detail how race and real estate were used by several generations of powerful Baltimoreans, primarily to earn money and secondarily to gain political advantage.

Behind the Backlash: White Working-Class Politics in Baltimore, 1940-1980

Exploring the…
