The Republicans is a revised and updated edition of Lewis L.
Gould's 2003 history of the Republican party. The book retains the
features that made the first edition a success-a fast-paced account
of Republican fortunes, a deep knowledge of the evolution of
national political history, and an acute feel for the interplay of
personalities and ideology. All the main players in the Republican
story are captured in penetrating sketches and deft analysis. Gould
brings to life such forgotten Republican leaders as James G.
Blaine, Mark Hanna, Wendell Willkie, and Robert A. Taft. He also
does full justice to such contemporary figures as Newt Gingrich,
Sarah Palin, and John McCain. The Republicans contains a new
chapter on the George W. Bush presidency, the election of 2008, and
the response of the Grand Old Party to Barack Obama. Gould argues
that the historic Republican skepticism about the legitimacy of the
Democratic party has shaped American politics since the Civil War.
In his view, that persistent flaw in the relations between the two
parties has led the nation to the current crisis of stalemate and
partisan bitterness. The Republicans won praise for its
even-handed, incisive analysis of Republican history a decade ago.
Gould's extension of the story through 2008 makes The Republicans
an even more useful volume for students and general readers alike.
No other account of Republican history is as up-to-date, crammed
with fascinating information, and ready to serve as an informed
guide to today's partisan warfare. Political junkies and readers
seeking the best first book on Republican history will find what
they are looking for in Gould's comprehensive volume.
