This is a whistle-stop survey of American politics from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush, with visits to poll results, biennial elections, political crises, and policy questions of the past twenty-five years. It touches on numerous aspects of American political life as well as economics, art, literature, science, society, fads, and customs that changed with the culture of the country. The story is told in terms of the presidents who shaped and led the nation, the elections that brought and kept them in power, and the dozens of people who collectively played a part in helping mold the national experience from 1980 to 2005.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The book offers a fairly straightforward, readable account of the major issues and trends in US politics and society since the latter days of the Carter administration. In so doing, it hits the significant points in contemporary affairs in a dispassionate, effective, and evenhanded way. For this it should be commended….Recommended. General readers, lower-division undergraduates through practitioners.” ―Choice

“This remarkable book is aptly titled. Author J. David Woodard argues that, beginning with the election of 1980, Ronadl Reagan united the nation's conservative elements into a powerful coalition, inspired dramatic party realignments, and altered the nature of American politics for the next twenty-five years.” ―
The Historian

“With so many of us born after 1980 and many more of us losing our memory of that hinge year, Woodard recalls how politics used to be and how it evolved, right up to the second administration of George W. Bush. He takes the temperature of the electorate and the great consuming public, exploring how economics, art, literature, science, society, fads and customs became part of American life and even became interwoven into its future. He considers the enigmas and the certainties of the Reagan years, the thousand points of light of George H.W. Bush, the varying degrees of separation between the Clinton administration and disaster, the postmodern nineties, and the effects of 9/ll on what seemed to be merely evolutionary. The photographs scattered through the text are particularly telling.” ―
Reference & Research Book News

“The impressively coherent narrative encompasses everything from elections and policy debates to trials of the century, hairstyles, and top television shows.” ―
Political Science Quarterly

Review

"Each generation of students, we are told, suffers from a historical blind spot covering the decades surrounding their birth. This deficiency in current college students' understanding of recent political history finds its ready cure in this topical, highly readable account of recent American political history. Like Alexis de Tocqueville, David Woodard understands that a nation's politics and political institutions rest on the foundation of political culture. The America That Reagan Built explores the roots of our political culture, telling the story of a rolling Republican realignment culminating in today's tenuous majority. Woodard offers a critical insight into the current polarization of American politics with its bitter partisanship, politics by other means, and politics of personal destruction. The book is the perfect supplement for courses filled with entering first year students."
