Divided They Fell: The Demise of the Democratic Party, 1964-1996 - Paperback

by Ronald Radosh (Author)

Tracing the Democratic Party's dramatic shift to the left over the last thirty years and its concurrent demise, a scholar proposes that the Democrats will never be able to recapture the strength of the New Deal.

"This book briskly recounts the Democratic Party's leftward lurch during the tumultuous 1960s and the subsequent decline of liberalism as a vital force in our nation's political life." --Will Marshall, President, Progressive Policy Institute.
