Reagan’s Victory: The Presidential Election of 1980 And the Rise of the Right
Category General
Product Description
Many have pointed to the Iran hostage crisis, others to galloping inflation. In reality, as Andrew Busch makes clear, Ronald Reagan’s defeat of President Jimmy Carter in 1980 was attributable to more than any one issue, no matter how galvanizing. It marked the growing ascendancy of conservative attitudes that had been brewing for two decades–and marked the clear end of the era of New Deal liberalism. Busch offers the first comprehensive study of this contest, going beyond journalistic accounts to show why it remains one of the truly landmark elections of the past century.

The contest featured two of our most beloved Founding Fathers, once warm friends, facing off as the heads of their two still-forming parties — the hot-tempered but sharp-minded John Adams,… More >>
