First Edition. 

In this, the last of his prize-winning series on American presidential politics, Theodore H. White explains the transformation of American politics over the past 25 years. He sets the stage by describing the forces molding American politics...from tv to the Great Inflation. He revisits elections, from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Ronald Reagan, & suggests how future contests might develop. He argues that events shape the man rather than vice versa: "I have learned that such men are cast up by events & forces larger than individuals."
