On the Side of the Angels by Nancy L Rosenblum
Offers a defense of the virtues of parties and partisanship, and their worth as a subject for political theory. This book draws from the history of political thought and identifies the main lines of opposition to parties, as well as the rare but significant moments of appreciation.
"Incisive and deftly written.. The most provocative part of On the Side of the Angels is not the discussion of parties as institutions; most people will readily grant that democracies require parties. What is more striking is Rosenblum's case for partisanship."--Paul Starr, New Republic "Rosenblum's analysis ... adds much greater rigor, clarity, and depth to [existing scholarship]... Even more, she creates a defense of partisan identification that is, at least to this reviewer, totally original."--John Aldrich, Perspectives on Politics
