American Maelstrom The 1968 Election and the Politics Division by Michael A.Cohen

That the past speaks strongly today,

and that facts happened also in the remote past impact current choices or decisions can be seen everyday. People are tired of the establishment, and the so-called elite, distant, cold, snob, choosing in many different countries, populists leaders, perceived as more close to them and their necessities.

In this book, American Maelstrom The 1968 Election and the Politics Division written by Michael A.Cohen columnist of the Boston Globe, a clear, erudite, profound analysis of what it meant for the USA the wild wind of 1968. It's a Before and After that crucial year.

This book offers to the reader a profound, detailed analysis of what happened during these decades, analyzing nine men/Presidents, entering in the house of Democrats and in the one of the GOP, for seeing why the USA are experiencing now a populistic wind.

As we will see it was a long process of unsatisfactions experienced by the base, voters.

Cohen is more than sure of it: the maelstrom of 1968 "continues to roil American politics."
