Reviews

-Dr. Carlson has written a simultane- i ouslyfascinating and scholarly study of the Wallace movement. It combines analysis of voting data, psychological f theory, and public speeches, and does so in a literate writing style. Her unique access to George Wallace and his staff makes this an indispensable beginning to understanding an important trend in American politics.- --Gerald Pomper, professor of political science, Rutgers University -Dr. Carlson has, without a doubt, il-luminated the actual popular physics of the Wallace phenomenon as thoroughly as they've ever been explored before. For that reason, her book will be an indispensable resource for future stu-dents of and commentators on that phe-nomenon and its decline.- --Marshall Frady, author of Wallace
