Recensione:
“A thoughtful account of how American politics have changed from the 1960s to the age of Trump. . . . He makes a strong case that voters have increasingly placed values over interests and that public opinion often rules . . . a detailed examination of recent presidential elections studded with sharp observations drawn from the author's extensive reporting career . . . A good choice for political junkies.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“For four decades, Bill Schneider has been one of our wisest electoral analysts, one of our shrewdest dissectors of political numbers, and one of our most historically grounded political scientists. He loves politics and conveys that love on every page. It is a joy to see all of these skills on display in Standoff, which tells a compelling story about how we have grown apart as a country and why our politics seem so broken.” —E.J. Dionne Jr., co-author of One Nation After Trump and author of Why the Right Went Wrong
“More political scientist than pundit, Bill Schneider has long been one of America’s most astute and knowledgeable commentators. In Standoff: How America Became Ungovernable, his fresh observations on immigration, economic inequality, the gun culture, partisanship, and the presidency are not just timely but offer a deep perspective on what Americans believe and why.”—Joe Conason, author of Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton
“Bill Schneider has been helping us understand our politics for a long time. His new book Standoff won't win any prizes for inspiring cheerfulness, but it may be Schneider's best contribution yet to the political literature. Liberals who are baffled by Donald Trump's ability to win the presidency in 2016 will find Schneider's analysis particularly helpful. The book left me feeling smarter, and sadder.”—Robert G. Kaiser, author of Act of Congress
