520    "From the author of Catching the Wind, called "one of the 
       truly great biographies of our time," comes the second 
       volume of the epic, definitive biography of Ted Kennedy-in
       which America's tectonic shift toward conservatism leaves 
       Kennedy the lone powerful voice in the fight to advance 
       protection for the poor and working-class. In Against the 
       Wind, Ted Kennedy enters 1975 no longer in his brothers' 
       shadow but as a force in his own right, having assumed 
       their mantle as a leading liberal, borne along by the 
       progressive wind that they had helped generate. But as the
       seventies grind on, Ted Kennedy sails largely against the 
       wind as it shifts direction-first with the election of 
       Jimmy Carter, a moderate who prioritized budget-balancing 
       over the old causes for which Ted had labored, and then 
       with Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, who bundled the 
       discontents of the white working and middle classes into 
       the most powerful force in American politics. When the 
       liberal hour wound down, those resentments would consume 
       American politics for decades. Ted Kennedy, then, was 
       tasked with advocating for the poor and the dispossessed 
       at a time when the idea of individual responsibility 
       overwhelmed that of communal responsibility. This volume 
       tells the story of how a political titan used his 
       legislative mastery to beat back the most dire threats to 
       the nation's most vulnerable individuals. Both politically
       and personally, Kennedy found himself lost at sea in a 
       time of conservative ascendancy. But he ultimately 
       regained his ballast and emerged not only as the political
       conscience of the nation but also as the "Lion of the 
       Senate," with a reputation among both Democrats and 
       Republicans as the most effective legislator of his own 
       and possibly all time. In Against the Wind, Neal Gabler 
       brings his inimitable insight to bear on a man who fought 
       to keep liberalism alive when so many were determined to 
       extinguish it. This outstanding conclusion to the epic 
       biography that began with Catching the Wind sheds new 
       light on the great American century and one of its most 
       revered figures"--|cProvided by publisher.
