This fascinating book looks at the select group of third parties
that have made a real difference in U.S. politics and governance.
Third parties have been a fixture in the American political
landscape since the beginning of the two-party system. More than
300 of these groups have surfaced, but only a handful have made a
real difference. Third-Party Matters: Politics, Presidents, and
Third Parties in American History tells the intriguing stories of
those 11 parties, starting with the antislavery Liberty Party of
1840. The parties deemed worthy of inclusion were selected because
they met at least one of three criteria. They were spoilers who
changed the outcome of an election, they had an important influence
on government policy or the future of politics, and/or they had
popular appeal, attracting at least ten percent of the vote. This
investigation reveals the background behind each party's rise, what
it stood for, who its leaders were—including larger-than-life
personalities like Teddy Roosevelt, George Wallace, and Ross
Perot—and the ultimate outcome of the election(s) in which the
party participated.
