ABOUT THE BOOK:

The historic 2008 elections put a Democrat in the White House and in the majority in both houses of Congress, yet those hoping for change have been deeply disappointed. Lance Selfa looks at the Democrats in broad historical perspective, showing the institutional roots of today’s betrayals, with a new Introduction and a chapter on the Obama presidency.



PRAISE:

“A smart, readable history of the Democrats that reminds us of the party’s allegiance to capital.”
