" Imagine a society in which parties dominate the political system.
They select the candidates, articulate distinct ideologies, oversee
the conduct of elections, virtually monopolize political
communications, mobilize voters, organize legislatures, structure
roll-call votes, and (more generally) determine the shape of public
policy. . . . For those of us familiar with the parties of the
1990s, imagining such a political order strains our creative
capacities. Yet only a century ago, the United States was such a
society. And Joel Silbey' s book brilliantly captures and recreates
that world. . . . Each of the chapters offers a cogently argued,
detailed, and richly textured picture of a bygone world in which
citizens were avowedly, uncompromisingly, and proudly partisan. . .
. The fact that this book will raise questions, evoke intellectual
disputes, and stimulate new research is simply another sign of its
significance and importance." -- American Political Science Review
