Liberalism and Its Challengers: From F.D.R. to Bush

Description

Review "A very useful survey of recent political history. I have used the first edition for several years and am glad to see it brought up to date. It has been particularly useful for my adult students who are survivors of this period."--William F. McKee, Eckerd College"Excellent interpretive analysis of post-World War II United States politics."--Dennis Mihelich, Creighton University"Well-done! Covers the last half century nicely."--David Robinson, University of Houston, Downtown"Useful, pertinent study...as American liberalism and conservatism seek to redefine themselves with changed circumstances at home and abroad."--Robert Hamburg, Indiana University, South Bend"Richly informative and lucid. A very needed clarification of key people in America's political drama."--George K. Bluh, Greenfield Community College"One of the best political analyses in recent American history."--J. Christopher Schneil, Southwest Missouri State"Probably the best synthesis we have of recent American political history....No one has used Richard Hofstadter's model more successfully."--Jeff Broadwater, Mississippi State University"Hamby has nicely updated this fine and most useful book to include the Bush administration and national attitude....Hamby has a way of getting at the complexities of liberalism and those forces which challenge it without getting lost in the details."--Gerald Michael Schnabel, Bemidji StateUniversity"Best account available on American political thought since 1933. Hamby's analysis is authoritative and balanced....Sure to inspire much discussion in class. Brightly written, compact in length...a superb teaching tool."--Daniel P. Murphy, Hanover College"Hamby shows the pragmatic side of liberal policy formulation from FDR to Bush. This realpolitik side of liberalism brings the political process down to the practical world. The author also shares with readers diverse historical interpretations in an informative, readable fashion."--John L.Rector, Western Oregon State College Read more About the Author Alonzo Hamby is at Ohio University.
