East Texas Troubles: The Allred Rangers' Cleanup of San Augustine
That Texas was a lawless, violent place in the early twentieth century is not surprising. Examples abound: lynching of the Latinx population in the borderlands in the 1910s and 1920s; the east Texas oil field placed under martial law in the early 1930s; and racial violence and lynching remained a problem for African Americans in the state. Moreover, the infamous Texas Rangers had long held a reputation for using harsh measures against black and b…
David Levering Lewis. The Improbable Wendell Willkie: The Businessman Who Saved the Republican Party and His Country, and Conceived a New World Order
Defeated presidential nominees are not necessarily the most likely subjects for political biography, especially biographies written both to attract general readers and correct the historiography, but in The Improbable Wendall Willkie, David Levering Lewis offers a master class on how to work in the genre. Willkie, the third of four Republicans defeated by Franklin D. Roosevelt, emerges as a complex and sympathetic figure in a book that tells a la…
The White House Vice Presidency: The Path to Significance, Mondale to Biden
Much of the literature on politics in the 1970s suggests a crisis in the presidency. Certainly Watergate played a role, but other external factors combined to leave the presidency in a seemingly diminished capacity, namely, deindustrialization and stagflation. Few scholars had located a positive story of government innovation in the executive branch in the late twentieth century. An exception is Joel K. Goldstein’s new book, The White House Vice …
Herbert Hoover: A Life
Writing biographies of Herbert Hoover has again become a cottage industry. The first important wave of Hoover scholarship was published in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with Joan Hoff Wilson (Herbert Hoover: Forgotten Progressive, 1975), David Burner (Herbert Hoover: A Public Life, 1979), George H. Nash (The Life of Herbert Hoover, 3 vols., 1983–), and Gary Dean Best (Herbert Hoover: The Postpresidential Years, 1983) authoring some of the most …
Elliot A. Rosen. The Republican Party in the Age of Roosevelt: Sources of Anti-Government Conservatism in the United States
Too often in explaining U.S. political history there is a tendency to fall back on the aphorism that politicians follow the will of the public instead of leading or directing public attitudes regarding policy. Certainly there are myriad examples that show this to be true, but Elliot A. Rosen's new book suggests we need to be more nuanced and careful in our interpretations. He delineates how the Republican Party began redefining itself in a more c…
