Eugene McCarthy : the rise and fall of Postwar American Liberalism

New York : Alfred A. Knopf 2004. 1st Edition. Description: xiii. 397 p.8 plates : ill. ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. [357]-382) and index. Subjects: McCarthy. Eugene J. (1916-2005) --United States --Congress --Senate --Biography. Summary: Eugene McCarthy was one of the most fascinating political figures of the postwar era: a committed liberal anti-Communist who broke with his party's leadership over Vietnam and ultimately helped take down the political giant Lyndon B. Johnson. His presidential candidacy in 1968 seized the hearts and fired the imaginations of countless young liberals; it also presaged the declining fortunes of liberalism and the rise of conservatism over the past three decades. Dominic Sandbrook traces Eugene McCarthy's rise to prominence and his subsequent failures. and makes clear how his story embodies the larger history of American liberalism over the last half century. We see McCarthy elected from Minnesota to the House and then to the Senate. part of a new liberal movement that combined New Deal domestic policies and fierce Cold War hawkishness. a consensus that produced huge electoral victories until it was shattered by the war in Vietnam. As the situation in Vietnam escalated. many liberals. like McCarthy. found themselves increasingly estranged from the anti-Communism that they had supported for nearly two decades. Sandbrook recounts McCarthy's growing opposition to President Johnson and his policies. which culminated in McCarthy's stunning near-victory in the New Hampshire presidential primary and Johnson's subsequent withdrawal from the race. McCarthy went on to lose the nomination to Hubert Humphrey at the infamous 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. which secured his downfall and led to Richard Nixon's election. but he had pulled off one of the greatest electoral upsets in American history. one that helped shape the political landscape for decades. These were tumultuous times in American politics. and Sandbrook vividly captures the drama and historical significance of the period through his intimate portrait of a singularly interesting man at the center of it all. by Dominic Sandbrook. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight. bright. clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new. 1400041058. Weight in Kg appr.: 1

Mad As Hell the Crisis of the 1970s and the Rise of the Populist Right

Knopf, 2011. 978-1400042623. First Edition :. Hardcover. ISBN: 978-1400042623. Larger octovo hardcover: tight and square spine/binding, pages bright and fresh, covers are unworn, unread copy, else AS NEW in AS NEW dustjacket. ''....a spirit of discontent, even paranoia, pervaded the U. S. Throughout the decade. Starting with Richard Nixon’s resignation in 1974, all the touchstones of the period are detailed: America’s humiliating defeat in Vietnam, an uptick in serious crime, economic malaise, rising fuel costs, environmental degradation, the Iranian hostage crisis, and an overall breakdown in respect for institutions, among others. But unlike Wheen, who’s content enough to state his case, Sandbrook lays out just how this discontent found its expression in the emergence of Ronald Reagan and the Republican Right by decade’s end. Not an easy book to work through, but readers will be rewarded for their effort. --Alan Moores '' ; 1.81 x 9.37 x 6.46 Inches; 506pp pages. New in New dust jacket .
