Schmuhl, Statecraft And Stagecraft - American Political Life In The Age Of Personality

Abstract

Robert Schmuhl is a specialist in American Studies who teaches at Notre Dame. He is fascinated by contemporary American politics, the subject of these two books. Both books are well-written, interesting, and thought-provoking. They are recommended as parallel reading for junior or senior-level courses in Twentieth Century America, America Since 1945, and similar courses, and for interdisciplinary social science courses, e.g., courses on contemporary American society. They are also good reading for history teachers and good sources for lecture material.
