A fascinating political narrative, analyzing the chaotic1924
Democratic Convention that left the Democratic Party divided for
years in its wake--with striking parallels to this summer's
upcoming Democratic Convention, which will determine the Democratic
candidate for the 2016 election for president of the United States.
Divided over the contentious issues of Prohibition and the Ku Klux
Klan, a fractured Democratic Party met in the summer of 1924 to
elect a presidential nominee. With drastically opposing views
between front-runners William Gibbs McAdoo of California and
Governor Al Smith of New York, and the "favorite sons"--candidates
running without national support--rigid division amongst the party
led to the need for a 103rd ballot. Robert Keith Murray expertly
captures the upheaval of the convention and the detrimental impact
it had on the party long after a candidate had been officially
selected. This riveting narrative and exceptional analysis provides
a captivating look on one of the most controversial presidential
conventions in American history, one that will highly resonate with
readers given the state of political dissonance today.
