Ira Katznelson. Emphasizing the long New Deal, putting it in its
global context, and shifting the focus from the White House to Congress
makes this book a major revision of conventional interpretations. But
it's the extent of the permeating influence of Southern Democrats on
national politics that is the work's revelation Katznelson rues the New
Deal's surrender to special interests at the expense of the public good.
Overall, a critical and deeply scholarly work that, notwithstanding, is
compulsively readable--Publisher's WeeklySaturday, March 30, 2013
