The Liberals’ Moment: The McGovern Insurgency and the Identity Crisis of the Democratic Party by Bruce Miroff

‘It’s an article of faith among many centrist Democrats (and nearly all Republicans) that the Democratic Party blundered badly in 1972 when it nominated George McGovern for president. Bruce Miroff’s wise and informative book “The Liberals’ Moment” invites a peek through the telescope’s opposite end. Miroff, a political science professor at the State University of New York at Albany, reminds us gently that the real blunder was committed by the 47 million voters who re-elected Richard Nixon in a 49-state landslide.’ Read the review at the New York Times.
