In recent years the study of American political history has experienced a remarkable renaissance. After decades during which the subject fell out of fashion and disappeared from public view it has returned to prominence as the study of American history has shifted its focus back to politics broadly defined.
Throughout this book addresses four big questions: How have interpretations of American political history changed over time? How have taxes and budgets constrained policymakers? How have changes in the political process defined historical eras? And how have policy and politics interacted on decisions like going to war?
