"Hamby has chosen a particularly effective way, through his succinct, shrewd sketches of American presidents and political leaders to examine the rise of liberalism and the challenge to it during the past half century."--Frank Freidel, University of Washington, Seattle. "Excellent, by far the best treatment of the subject I have seen. All in all, it is one of the four of five essential books on post-World War II America available."--Albert H. Bowman, University of Tennessee. Using lively biographical essays. Hamby explores the personalities and achievements of such eminent political fugures as the Kennedys, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Richard M. Nixon, and examines the rise and fall of the liberal tradition since World War II. The book is fully up-to-date, beginning with Franklin D. Roosevelt and ending with Ronald Reagan and the conservative backlash of the 80s.
