"This important work presents sharp debates among an impressive group of contributors about presidential primaries, political money, party decline, and media excesses, as well as old issues like the electoral college—all in a manner that reinforces the view of editor Gary Rose that the electoral system is indeed in crisisA fine introduction to the questionable presidential selection processes that will torment us again in 1996." — James MacGregor Burns, Williams College
"Controversial Issues in Presidential Selection presents informative essays by experts giving both sides of the question on practically all the critical issues now facing the presidential selection process—in many ways the key to the future of American democracy. Surprisingly, its cumulative effect is a profound call for revival and reform of that battered institution, the political party. This book will be read with pleasure and profit by both specialists and general readers." — A. James Reichley, author of The Life of the Parties
"A lively book! A thoughtful one also. I particularly like the clarity and focus of the point-counterpoint format in presenting the different perspectives. The issues chosen for examination are the major ones, and the contributors are consistently first rate. The collection provides a strong context for assessing a process in crisis." — William Crotty, Northwestern University
