Here is a amazing and brilliantly amusing tour de make of American politics from one of journalism's most acclaimed commentators. Background becomes on a dime. A missed meeting, an alternative selection of words, and the outcome changes significantly. Nowhere is this truer than in the field where Jeff Greenfield has spent almost all of his working life, American politics, and in three dramatic narratives predicated on memoirs, histories, oral histories, fresh reporting with journalists and key members, and Greenfield's own understanding of the main players, he shows just how outstanding those changes would have been. These exact things are true: In Dec 1960, a suicide bomber paused fatefully when he found the young president-elect's better half and daughter come to the entranceway to wave farewell.... In June 1968, RFK declared victory in California, and then rather than speaking with people in another ballroom, as planned, was hustled off through the kitchen.... In Oct 1976, Chief executive Gerald Ford made a crucial gaffe in a controversy against Jimmy Carter, turning the tide within an election that were swiftly narrowing. But imagine if it had opted the other way? The situations that Greenfield depicts are startlingly sensible, rich in fine detail, shocking in their projections, but always deeply, amazingly plausible. You will never think about recent American history in the same way again.
