Why read it?

1 author picked Where Have All the Voters Gone? as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Everett Carll Ladd was a mentor of mine. This book describes the politics of the 1970s and early 1980s.

I devoured it because he not only brought a unique understanding of electoral politics to the discipline of political science but wrote in such a way that he made it understandable and readable to a general audience. It is a powerful study of how the political parties had weakened, one that still resonates today.
