In Resilient America , Michael Nelson, one of our nation's preeminent experts on the Presidency, takes a fascinating look at the pivotal 1968 election, one that in many ways created some of the contours that we see in our political scene today. Held during one of the most turbulent periods in American history, Nelson argues that whether one agrees with the outcome or not, the election served its purpose, creating some degree of resolution and stability at a time when it was so badly needed. -Charles E. Cook, Jr., columnist for the National Journal and editor & publisher of The Cook Political Report

Will be required reading for any historian or political scientist seeking to understand the 1968 presidential election and its importance for the development of contemporary politics. Political Science Quarterly
