EUGENE MCCARTHY(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Originally a New Deal liberal and aggressive anticommunist,
Senator Eugene McCarthy famously lost faith with the Democratic
party over Vietnam. His stunning challenge to Lyndon Johnson in the
1968 New Hampshire primary inspired young liberals and was one of
the greatest electoral upsets in American history. But the 1968
election ultimately brought Richard Nixon and the Republican Party
to power, irrevocably shifting the country’s political landscape to
the right for decades to come.
　　Dominic Sandbrook traces one of the most remarkable and
significant lives in postwar politics, a career marked by both
courage and arrogance. Sandbrook draws on extensive new research –
including interviews with McCarthy himself – to show convincingly
how Eugene McCarthy’s political experience embodies the larger
decline of American liberalism after World War II. These were
tumultuous times in American politics, and Sandbrook vividly
captures the drama and historical significance through his intimate
portrait of a singularly interesting man at the heart of it
all.

　　Born in Shropshire in 1974, Dominic Sandbrook studied history
and modern languages at Oxford University. He has a master’s degree
from the University of St. Andrews and a doctorate from Cambridge
University. He taught American history at the University of
Sheffield from 2001 to 2004, and has held a Senior Fellowship at
the Rothermere American Institute, Oxford.  He is the author
of Never Had It So Good: A History of Britain from Suez to the
Beatles, and lives in London.
