Chronicles the life and career of James Abourezk.

Chronicles the life and career of James Abourezk.

Focusing on three major realignments of the past -- those of the 1850s, the 1890s, and the 1930s -- Sundquist traces the processes by which basic transformations of the country's two-party system occur. From the historical case studies, he fashions a theory as to the why and how of party realignment. He then applies it to current and recent developments, through the first two years of the Reagan Presidency and the midterm election of 1982.

"The authors of this book are strong political adversaries. Widely recognized as the dean of all Jewish lobbyists, Hyman Bookbinder was the Washington representative of the American Jewish Committee for almost twenty years. Former Senator James Abourezk is the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, a nationwide organization of more than 15,000 members. The two men represent Americans who hold diametrically opposed views on U.S. Middle East policy."--Book Jacket.
