Trade Review
Could be the definitive work on American party politics of our generation. Michael Barone, Senior Writer, U.S. News & World Report; ""These thoughtful, coherently related, and wide-ranging essays - by one of America's most accomplished political scientists - reflect astutely on underlying sociocultural trends in recent American history, thereby offering readers a wealth of insights."" James T. Patterson, author of Grand Expectations: The United States, 1945-1974; ""Shafer is not timid about drawing big picture implications from what we know about important political questions. His book provides an extraordinary glimpse into the mind of one of the most creative scholars of American politics."" Charles O. Jones, author of Separate but Equal Branches: Congress and the Presidency
