"Gould's writing is exhilarating. . . . He also reminds readers of
the long-term impact of the race. Here, indeed, is the birth of
modern American politics, the origins of a liberal-conservative
divide, grounded in policy and rhetoric, embodied, respectively, in
the Republican and Democratic Parties. It is no wonder that Gould's
account should seem so fresh."--Political Science Quarterly"This
book should remain the standard account of this contest for the
foreseeable future."--Journal of American History"Unquestionably
the definitive work on the seminal election of 1912.
Essential."--Choice
"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."--Michael Kazin, author of A Godly Hero: The Life of
William Jennings Bryan"The best informed and most trenchant study
of this election yet published. 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. A remarkable
and splendid book written with unfailing insight, balance, and
fairness to all the candidates."--John Milton Cooper, Jr., author
of The Warrior and the Priest: Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson
