Price's Nixon was trying to bring the country together. He understood that politics was 'poetry' - you needed more than good policy positions. But good ones he had. His domestic policies would have ended the financial incentives to break up low-income families and would have kept catastrophic health issue from bankrupting middle-class families. We see Nixon doing the right thing because it is the right thing. This book is thought-provoking from beginning to end.\" - Nicholas Evan Sarantakes, author of \u003ci\u003eFan in Chief: Richard Nixon and American Sports, 1969-1974\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"John Roy Price's \u003ci\u003eThe Last Liberal Republican\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Nixon presidency as well as the presidential\/congressional relationship as it relates to domestic policymaking. Price's memoir not only explains the domestic policy agenda during a seminal point in American history but also shows how a Republican president worked with a Democratic Congress to revise and expand parts of the New Deal and Great Society agendas. Price's ability to illustrate the policy battles as they played out on the political frontlines makes this book essential reading.\" - Lori Cox Han, author of \u003ci\u003eAdvising Nixon: The White House Memos of Patrick J.

Here is a Nixon seldom seen, a Nixon leaning left even as he moved the Republicans right, a Nixon worried about his place in history even as he was soiling his place in history. No biography of the thirty-seventh president written in the remainder of this century can be unaffected by this vital and indispensable book.\" - David Shribman, Pulitzer Prize-winning nationally syndicated columnist and former executive editor, \u003ci\u003ePittsburgh Post-Gazette\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"University Press of Kansas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49083563475287,"sku":"9780700632053","price":41.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780700632053.jpg?v=1725549336","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-last-liberal-republican-9780700632053","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
