Gould, Lewis L. 1968: The Election That Changed America
Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. Ivan R Dee 1993 156663010X / 9781566630108 Trade Paperback Fine
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 179 pages. American Ways Series. From Publishers Weekly: Richard M. Nixon's defeat of Hubert Humphrey in the 1968 presidential election ushered in the Republicans' near-monopoly of the White House for two decades. University of Texas historian Gould's concise and engrossing analysis of this decisive election overturns conventional wisdom on many points, showing, for example, that Robert Kennedy was a less formidable national candidate than people at the time and later historians have believed. Gould maintains that the election's outcome was determined largely by the decline in Democratic loyalty during the '60s. Nixon played up "wedge issues" to draw whites with conservative views on race, crime and moral values--a technique, notes Gould, that Reagan and Bush would later exploit. Using unpublished materials at the Lyndon B. Johnson Library, Gould fills in the details of Nixon's attempt to thwart an "October surprise" by President Johnson on Humphrey's behalf. As LBJ pushed a peace initiative with the Vietnamese, Nixon worked through Ann Chennault (widow of WW II hero Claire Chennault) to stall South Vietnamese acceptance of a bombing halt until after Election Day. LBJ and Humphrey failed to blow the whistle on Nixon, because doing so would have revealed that they had wiretapped Chennault's phone conversations. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal: As the torch has been passed to the first president of the Vietnam-baby-boomer generation, Univ. of Texas historian Gould has provided in his analysis of the 1968 presidential election an explanation for Republican successes in the race for the White House in the last 25 years. In a fluid prose that should help this book capture a wide audience, Gould examines the Democratic party dog-fight for the nomination, emphasizing Eugene McCarthy's antiwar entrance into the fray and the decision of Robert Kennedy to throw his hat into the ring. He also chronicles the "violent spring" and the antiwar movement that propelled it. While Gould details the debacle that was the Democratic Convention, his work's most lasting contribution may be the pithy chapter titled "Nixon's the One." It examines Nixon's development of his now-vaunted "Southern strategy" based mainly on the issue of the desegregation of schools. Nixon's invocations of the forgotten man also resonated well enough for Republicans to use the themes to great advantage for the next 25 years. Well written and easily accessible to large audiences. - Frank Kessler, Missouri Western State Coll., St. Joseph

Gould, Lewis L.; Smith, Richard Norton (Foreword) The Modern American Presidency
Univ Pr of Kansas 2003 0700612521 / 9780700612529 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. Appears unread. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears. 301 pages. Illustrated with photos. - The modern presidency, in the formulation of Gould (emeritus, history, U. of Texas at Austin), is characterized by the accretion of White House bureaucracy, formalized relations with Congress, greater power for the president as commander in chief, and the emergence of "presidential stardom." While many historians mark Franklin Roosevelt's administration as the first modern presidency, Gould traces its earliest manifestations to the tenure of William McKinley and argues that it had emerged virtually full formed by 1921. He also makes the case for considering the Republican administrations of Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover important in the formation of modern presidential management, especially in terms of media relations
