Rejecting the simple and too often assumed answer that the coalitions simply collapsed, missing an opportunity to achieve many of the long-time goals of the New Deal-coalition, Battista sets out to show that the left-liberal wing of the labor movement enjoyed a resurgence in the mid-1990s, which itself grew out of a number of different left-liberal-labor alliances that were forged in the late 1970s and '80s.\"--Peter B.
