This shrewdly argued and beautifully crafted volume illuminates the enduring significance of the 1912 race. The best book ever written about one of the more intelligent campaigns in U.S. history.

Fluent, lucid, authoritative, it resounds with the politics of the Progressive era."" John Morton Blum, author of The Republican Roosevelt ""At long last, the 1912 election has the history it deserves. A splendid book."" John Milton Cooper, Jr., author of The Warrior and the Priest: Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson
