- Synopsis
- All of us have lived through a time of collision in America: of upheavals shattering old ideas and dreams-- transforming American politics in the process. In this, the last of his prize-winning series on American presidential politics, Theodore H. White tells us of the dramas that lie behind that transformation. He sets the stage by describing the forces that have changed American politics in the twenty-five years of his reporting. He tells how American goodwill created something called the Great Society... and pushed it over the cliff. He reveals how television took over American politics--and changed its nature; and he tells the terrifying story of the Great Inflation--and how it came to undermine all American life. And he details the equally disturbing story of how Americans have been ripped apart, divided and set against each other by the hopes that inspired men of goodwill to try to bring Americans together.
