Reviews
The great contribution of this book is its historical look at how different presidents have conceived of political parties. From the founding generation of Jefferson and Madison, through the reform years of Teddy Roosevelt's third party efforts, and on up to FDR's purge campaign, Milkis displays his expertise of presidential politics.
A fine book that deserves a large audience.
