Originally published by Random House in 1964, this abridged edition of the classic Brookings Institution study of the presidential nominating conventions has been updated to include an epilogue by Austin Ranney of the American Enterprise Institute describing major changes in the convention system during the past 20 years. There is no other source that provides a comprehensive analytical account of the nominating conventions from 1832 to 1960. This book is indispensable for those who wish to understand, explain, or comment upon the contemporary presidential nominating process.
