The Roots of Modern Conservatism: Dewey, Taft, and the Battle for the Soul of the Republican Party New edition
Michael Bowen
Between 1944 and 1953, a power struggle emerged between New York governor Thomas Dewey and U. S. senator Robert Taft of Ohio that threatened to split the Republican Party. Michael Bowen reveals how this two-man battle for control of the GOP - and the Republican presidential nomination - escalated into a divide of ideology that ultimately determined the party's political identity.
