Politic Parties Amer Mold Format: Paperback

“The most comprehensive textbook I have read on American political parties.  Written before the current partisan impasse, the book does much to clarify the extremely fluid and often fragile structure of our two major parties—parties that, in comparison with their European counterparts, have relatively weak ties to social classes and religious groups.”—New York Review of Books

'...Epstein paints on a broad canvas...and adds a good deal of illumination by placing contemporary American phenomena in historical and crossnational context...probably the most useful one-volume treatment of American parties.'--David R. Mayhew Congress and the Presidency
