Description

Craig examines the bitter disputes that shook the Democratic Party in the 1920s and early 1930s and stressed ideological conflicts between conservative and progressive Democrats over economic and social policy. He provides insights into the nature of Democratic dissension during the years after Woodrow Wilson's progressive tenure and thus places the later revolt of conservative Democrats against the New Deal in an ideological and political context.

Originally published in 1992.
