From the Reagan Revolution to the Clinton-Gingrich co-presidency, this book recounts how the once dependable, pragmatic center in Amer. politics disappeared in the momentous battle to define the role of the federal government. Darman, a Republican insider, was in Reagan & Bushs cabinet. He argues that by tilting too far to the left in 1993-94, Pres. Clinton missed a historic opportunity to shape a new governing coalition. Then Gingrich in 1995-96 tied himself down on the right — ultimately giving Clinton a second chance to claim the political center, which has increased the alienation of the Amer. public from government.
