Understanding the 2020 presidential election is a vital task not simply for scholars, but for citizens in general. William Crotty and the other contributors to this new study provide a fine starting point for reflection and analysis.
*Thomas Ferguson, professor emeritus, University of Massachusetts, Boston*

Professor Crotty once again has marshaled the talents of ten distinguished scholars covering the campaigns, voting patterns, and major issues of the 2020 presidential election—one of the most consequential elections in U.S. history, including the tumultuous aftermath. Clear, crisp writing throughout makes this book scholarly and entertaining for audiences both inside and outside the classroom.
