Trade Review
"Political Tone is a novel, masterly, and beautifully written examination of the American political landscape with attention to the campaign rhetoric of every presidential campaign from 1948 to the present. The authors have carefully marshaled a wealth of data to reveal patterns - some strikingly counterintuitive - in the political communication environment over the last six decades. A marvelous undertaking." (Katherine Cramer Walsh, University of Wisconsin - Madison)"
