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

Tracing the Democratic Partys 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 Partys leftward lurch during the tumultuous 1960s and the subsequent decline of liberalism as a vital force in our nations political life. —Will Marshall President Progressive Policy Institute.
