It's an excellent book about how America went from Lyndon Johnson's landslide Democratic victory over Barry Goldwater in 1964 to Richard Nixon's equally lopsided Republican reelection only eight years later.
The worst reelection was George W. Bush. He was an awful president his first term. So why he would be elected to a second term is beyond reason.
