"""A powerful and necessary corrective to the idea that US liberalism simply sputtered out with the elections of Nixon and Reagan. Engaging and smart, Andelic shows the persistent power of congressional liberalism in the 1970s, '80s, and beyond.""--Jennifer A. Delton, author of Making Minnesota Liberal: Civil Rights and the Transformation of the Democratic Party ""A deeply researched and stylishly executed study that brings post-Great Society politics vividly to life. I know of no other book that comes close in terms of conveying both the travail and the resilience of progressive politics during the 1970s and 1980s.""--Gareth Davies, associate professor of American history, St. Anne's College, Oxford University ""A welcome contribution to studies of Congress, the Democratic Party's evolution, and the behavior of a party in opposition.""--Political Science Quarterly ""Andelic has written a readable, well-researched, and convincing history of congressional Democrats from 1974 to 1994.""--H-Net Reviews ""Provides insightful lessons.""--Choice"
