520    American Maelstrom captures the full drama of the 
       watershed election of 1968, establishing this year as the 
       hinge between the decline of political liberalism, the 
       ascendancy of conservative populism, and the rise of anti-
       government attitudes that continue to dominate the 
       nation's political discourse. This sweeping and immersive 
       book, equal parts compelling analysis and thrilling 
       narrative, takes us to the very source of our modern 
       politics of division. In 1965, Lyndon Johnson announced 
       the most ambitious government agenda in decades. Three 
       years later, everything had changed. Johnson's approval 
       ratings had plummeted; the liberal consensus was 
       shattered; the war in Vietnam splintered the nation; and 
       the politics of civil rights had created a fierce white 
       backlash. The National Committee for an Effective Congress
       warned of a "national nervous breakdown." The election of 
       1968 was immediately caught up in a swirl of powerful 
       forces, and the nine men who sought the nation's highest 
       office that year attempted to ride them to victory-or 
       merely survive them. On the Democratic side, Eugene 
       McCarthy energized the anti-war movement; George Wallace 
       spoke to the working-class white backlash; Robert Kennedy 
       took on the mantle of his slain brother. Entangled in 
       Vietnam, Johnson, stunningly, opted not to run again, 
       scrambling the odds. On the Republican side, Richard Nixon,
       outhustled Nelson Rockefeller, Ronald Reagan and George 
       Romney, by navigating between the conservative and 
       moderate wings of the Republican Party. The assassinations
       of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Kennedy seemed to push the
       country to the brink of chaos, a chaos reflected in the 
       Democratic Convention in Chicago, a televised horror show.
       Vice President Hubert Humphrey emerged as the nominee, and
       nearly overcame the lead long enjoyed by Nixon who, by 
       exploiting division and channeling the national yearning 
       for order, would be the last man standing.
