The Cycles of American HistoryHoughton Mifflin Harcourt, 1999 - 498 pagina's Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., first revealed the sequences that governed American politics over the past two centuries in The Cycles of American History.

Faced with a new century, a new millennium, and social and technological revolutions, Schlesinger confronts the possibility of a revolution in American political cycles. |
