Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical account detailing an international journey undertaken by a McKinley button during the presidential campaign of 1896. The author traces the movements of the button, gifted to American travelers on their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean, as they engage in spirited debates about their nation's future with fellow passengers from England, Italy, Greece and Turkey. As the campaign progresses, the button serves as a tangible symbol of the political divide between the candidates - McKinley, the Republican candidate advocating protectionist policies, and Bryan, the Democratic candidate supporting free silver. The author's narrative follows the button through cities such as London, Cairo, Jerusalem, and Athens. A thought-provoking exploration of the power of political symbols and the impact of international relations on domestic politics, this book offers insights into the dynamics of a pivotal moment in American history and the interplay between national and global affairs.
