Recensioner i media

"The 1960s were a watershed in the history of the Democratic Party. Anyone seeking to know how and why Kennedy and Johnson irrevocably changed the party will want to read this exceptionally fine book, which also provides a background for understanding the momentous changes that have since taken place in America's two-party system. Sean Savage's book is a must read for scholars and students of American politics and history." - Thomas E. Patterson, author of The Vanishing Voter: Public Involvement in an Age of Uncertainty; "Savage deals with the nuances of the relationships between JFK and LBJ respectively and Democratic Party officials. He elucidates difficulties which arose and reasons for the lack of cooperation between these prominent officials and political party officials. Readers will appreciate the prodigious archival research he has conducted and melded with important elements of the political science literature." - Henry B. Sirgo, McNeese State University"
