See Government Grow by Gareth Davies
When Congress endorsed aid to schools in 1965, the idea that the federal government had any responsibility for public education was controversial. This book explains why federal role in schools continued to expand in post-LBJ years as the reform impulse became detached from electoral politics, centering instead on courts and federal bureaucracy.
"Spirited and splendidly researched, Davies's book will force readers to revise their thinking about the course of late twentieth century political history" James T. Patterson, author of Restless Gaint: The United States from Watergate to Bush V. Gore "Reveals the enduring legacy of Great Society liberalism and the limits of the Reagan Revolution. Essential reading for anyone interested in politics and public policy today." Donald T. Critchlow, author of The Conservative Ascendancy: How the GOP Right Made Political History "Magisterial yet incisive, comprehensive but lively, scholarly and accessible." Chester E. Finn, Jr., coauthor of Is There Life After Big Government?"
