The local democratic party organizations in America dramatically deteriorated between the early 1960s and the mid-1970s. This is the first major study of organizational decay at the local level, the level from which American parties traditionally drew their strength. The book concentrates on three areas: New York City, the East Bay in California, and Denver.
