 Accusations of Communist influences and Wallace's association with controversial Theosophist figure Nicholas Roerich undermined his campaign, and he received just 2.4 percent of the nationwide popular vote.Wallace broke with the Progressive Party in 1950 over the Korean War, and in 1952 he published "Where I Was Wrong", in which he declared the Soviet Union to be "utterly evil".Wallace largely fell into political obscurity after the early 1950s, though he continued to make public appearances until the year before his death in 1965.
