Synopsis
Interlacing humor into his ongoing narrative, Robert Allen Rutland provides in The Democrats a readable, balanced account of how the Democratic party was founded, evolved, nearly died, and came back in the twentieth century, flourishing as a political melting pot despite numerous setbacks. This updated version of Rutland's much-heralded The Democrats: From Jefferson to Carter provides new insight into the long hiatus in the Democrats' presence in the White House between Carter and Clinton. In additon to analyzing Carter's successes and failures as president, Rutland also examines the forces that went into the Democratic defeats and Republican victories in 1980, 1984, and 1988, concluding with the election of another Jeffersonian Democrat, William Jefferson Clinton. The book ends with an examination of the dramatic results of the 1994 congressional elections that began to alert President Clinton to the challenge he would face in winning reelection in 1996.

Review
"Rutland's prose is clear, precise, and entertaining. Words, phrases, statistical data, and quotations are chosen carefully to hold the reader's interest and convey the exact meaning intended. Because of this, the narrative never becomes a monotonous and somewhat encyclopedic recital of one presidential election after another. Rutland achieves his objective in identifying the philosophical foundations of the Democratic party and its differences as compared to its rivals while also providing an analysis of its past as an integral part of the mainstream of the history of the United States. . . . A perceptive and engaging survey that can be thoroughly enjoyed by the professional historian and layman alike."--Journal of Southern History
