Kennedy Vs. Carter by Timothy Stanley
Offers a look at how Jimmy Carter alienated his own supporters, why Ted Kennedy ran against him, what the Kennedy campaign has to say about America in the 1970s, and whether or not the 1980 election really was a turning point in electoral history.
"A fresh, engaging, and insightful account of Ted Kennedy and American liberalism at a turning pointAt the heart of Stanley's book is a startling thesis: our standard accounts of contemporary American politics, in which Ronald Reagan was bound to rise as liberalism fell, have it wrong." Bruce Miroff, author of The Liberals' Moment: The McGovern Insurgency and the Identity Crisis of the Democratic Party "An excellent and ambitious study that illuminates a key moment in the history of the Democratic Party." Lewis L. Gould, author of The Modern American Presidency"
