Leadership and Change by Miller and Levitin is an extraordinarily sensitive examination of the American electorate's responses to the unusual political events of the late sixties and early seventies as well as a subtle attempt to anticipate the immediate future. Miller and Levitin use their superb skills as analysts to present a dynamic picture of the transformations taking place in the relationship between government and citizen in the aftermath of the debacle in Vietnam and the shock of Watergate. The authors apply an interdisciplinary perspective to the unique qualities of the country's politics. Leadership and Change is must reading for any student of American electoral and political behavior who seeks an understanding of the complexities of public issues and their sources in the nation's social and economic cleavages. It is the true successor to its classical parent, The American Voter. -- Heinz Eulau, Stanford University Leadership and Change by Miller and Levitin is an extraordinarily sensitive examination of the American electorate's responses to the unusual political events of the late sixties and early seventies as well as a subtle attempt to anticipate the immediate future.
