About this title

Synopsis

A book about politics and future leadership in America. The 'changing of the guard' refers to a generational shift in power and leadership - from the people whose shaping experiences were the Depression and World War II to those whose shaping experiences include the wars of Korea and Viet-nam, the 1960s civil rights marches, and Watergate--a change perhaps as great or greater than any in U.S.history. 512 pages with bibliography and index. 9.5 x 6.5 inches. New York, Simon and Schuster, 1980.
