The book explores the transformative period in American history from the end of World War II to Richard Nixon's resignation, with a particular emphasis on the 1960s. It challenges prevalent myths about this era, presenting the concept of a "liberal consensus" in the 1950s, where conservatives accepted liberal domestic welfare policies while most liberals aligned with conservative Cold War containment strategies. Through this lens, it offers a nuanced understanding of the political landscape during these pivotal years.
