Book Synopsis
In the wake of the 2016 presidential election there was widespread shock that the Midwest, the Democrats' so-called blue wall, had been so effectively breached by Donald Trump. But the blue wall, as The Conservative Heartland makes clear, was never quite as secure as so many observers assumed.

Trade Review
The Conservative Heartland is essential reading for anyone interested in how and why the Midwest has become America's most contested political battleground. Anchored by Lauck and Stock's superb introductory essay, a talented group of historians provide a tour d'horizon of the Midwest's economic and cultural fracture lines, revealing how the region became the proving ground for an enduring strain of conservative politics." - David Farber, Roy A. Roberts Distinguished Professor, University of Kansas, and author of The Rise and Fall of Modern American Conservatism

"This timely book provides a trove of great information for people who want to understand the history and politics of the Midwest. Despite covering many subjects and using diverse methods, it is extremely readable and will be approachable and helpful for both scholars and students." - George Hawley, author of Right-Wing Critics of American Conservatism
