I think Verso is a contributor of publisher quality books to Bookshare. Go to the Bookshare advanced search and enter Verso in the publisher field. You will get a pretty long list of books you might be interested in.

But it was also natural to think that the sun went around the earth. Overcoming 
naive impressions to figure out how things really work is one of humanity's 
highest callings.

It's The Fight for the Soul of the Democratic Party by John Nichols. He's
the political editor at The Nation Magazine. The book focuses on Henry
Wallace, but it also covers what happened with McGovern, Jesse Jackson,
Bernie Sanders, and I think, some other issues as well. The publisher is
Verso Books. I hope that Bookshare gets it because I'm quite sure that BARD
won't. John Nichols talked about the book today on the Nation podcast, Start
Making Sense. What is really instructive is what happened when Wallace ran
on a third party ticket against Truman. The history explains why Sanders
probably made the decision to run within the Democratic Party. I remember
the election in 1948. My parents voted for Wallace. I learned today that he
only got a million votes.
