Brilliant and totally engrossing.\"-Rachel Maddow\"Delightful...brings to life the most fascinating election of modern times.\"-Walter IsaacsonFrom the celebrated host of MSNBCs The Last Word with Lawrence ODonnell, an enthralling account of the presidential election that created American politics as we know it todayLong before Lawrence O'Donnell was the anchor of his own political talk show, he was a senior adviser to Senator Patrick Moynihan, one of postwar Americas wisest political minds. The 1968 U.S. presidential election-marked by RFKs assassination, massive upheaval in the Democratic Party, and the first of Richard Nixons dirty tricks-was ODonnells own political coming of age. In the decades since, the election has remained one of his abiding fascinations, as it set the tone for so much of what followed in American politics, all the way through to today. Playing with Fire represents his master class in American electioneering, as well as an extraordinary human drama that captures a system, and a country, coming apart at the seams.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539446825248,"sku":"NEW0399563164","price":12.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81rwmbd4DZL.jpg?v=1777492949","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/playing-with-fire-the-1968-election-and-the-transformation-of-american-politics-0399563164","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
