Summary:

In this persuasive reappraisal of Truman's 1948 victory, Harold Gullan argues that it was neither the ""greatest upset in American political history"" nor merely a successful extension of the coalition built by Franklin Roosevelt. Despite the near unanimous opinion of polls, pundits, and publications favoring Thomas E. Dewey, a win by Dewey would have been the authentic upset. Mr. Gullan shows why, in retrospect, the results of 1948 make it--along with 1932 and 1968--one of the three most important elections in the twentieth century. ""A lucid, enlightening historical survey, as well as a nostalgic look at a bygone era."" --Kirkus Reviews
