A atimely and compellinga analysis of Americaas bitterly divisive partisan politics (Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times")
In recent years American politics has seemingly become much more partisan, more zero-sum, more vicious, and less able to confront the real problems our nation faces. What has happened?
In "The Second Civil War," respected political commentator Ronald Brownstein diagnoses the electoral, demographic, and institutional forces that have wreaked such change over the American political landscape, pulling politics into the margins and leaving precious little common ground for compromise. "The Second Civil War" is not a book for Democrats or Republicans but for all Americans who are disturbed by our current political dysfunction and hungry for ways to understand itaand move beyond it.
