Drawing on extensive archival research, it reveals how Nixon's campaign reshaped American conservatism, laying the groundwork for modern political polarization. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrank Kusch argues that Nixon's landslide was the product of a carefully orchestrated campaign that capitalized on the fears of a conservative electorate uneasy with the social upheavals of the 1960s. By presenting Nixon as a steady leader amid turmoil, his campaign forged a coalition defined less by polices it championed than conditions it opposed-radicalism, protest, and chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrank Kusch\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eBattleground Chicago: The Police and the 1968 Democratic National Convention\u003c\/i\u003e (University of Chicago Press, 2008), \u003ci\u003eAll American Boys: Draft Dodgers in Canada from the\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eVietnam War\u003c\/i\u003e, (Praeger Publishers, 2001), and “Behind the Billy Club: Chicago Police and the Violence at the 1968 Democratic National Convention,” in \u003ci\u003eThe Routledge History of Police Brutality in America\u003c\/i\u003e, (New York: Routledge, 2023).\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 November 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9798216488668\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e320\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51197322330252,"sku":"9798216488668","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_7cf2c136-74f7-40d9-9b38-054644b13b99.jpg?v=1782962434","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9798216488668","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
