Creatures of Politics: Media, Message, and the American Presidency
ISBN: 9780253007452 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The political party system in the United States has periodically undergone major realignments at various critical junctures in the country's history.

Starting in the 1930s, however, Roosevelt's New Deal reversed the parties' fortunes, bringing the Democratic Party back to national power, and this realignment was further modified by the "culture wars" beginning in the mid-1960s. Each of these... The political party system in the United States has periodically undergone major realignments at various critical junctures in the country's histor... |

He would pass some of the most significant legislation in American history, but his own weaknesses torpedoed some of his...
