In Against the Wind, Ted Kennedy enters 1975 no longer in his brothers' shadow but as a force in his own right, having assumed their mantle as a leading liberal, borne along by the progressive wind that they had helped generate. But as the seventies grind on, Ted Kennedy sails largely against the wind as it shifts direction-first with the election of Jimmy Carter, a moderate who prioritized budget-balancing over the old causes for which Ted had labored, and then with Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, who bundled the discontents of the white working and middle classes into the most powerful force in American politics. When the liberal hour wound down, those resentments would consume American politics for decades. Ted Kennedy, then, was tasked with advocating for the poor and the dispossessed at a time when the idea of individual responsibility overwhelmed that of communal responsibility. This volume tells the story of how a political titan used his legislative mastery to beat back the most dire threats to the nation's most vulnerable individuals. Both politically and personally, Kennedy found himself lost at sea in a time of conservative ascendancy. But he ultimately regained his ballast and emerged not only as the political conscience of the nation but also as the "Lion of the Senate," with a reputation among both Democrats and Republicans as the most effective legislator of his own and possibly all time. In Against the Wind, Neal Gabler brings his inimitable insight to bear on a man who fought to keep liberalism alive when so many were determined to extinguish it. This outstanding conclusion to the epic biography that began with Catching the Wind sheds new light on the great American century and one of its most revered figures"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Kennedy, Edward M. $q (Edward Moore), $d 1932-2009. 600 17 $a Kennedy, Edward M. $q (Edward Moore), $d 1932-2009. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01730723 610 10 $a United States. $b Senate $b Senate $v Biography. 610 17 $a United States. $b Senate. $b Senate. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00530422 648 7 $a Since 1945 $2 fast 650 0 $a Legislators $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a Legislators. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995828 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1945-1989. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1989- 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gabler, Neal. $t Against the wind $b First edition. $d New York : Crown, [2022] $z 9780593238639 $w (DLC) 2022016141 941 $a 5 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043346.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214032812.0 952 $l CCPB522 $d 20230822010138.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207010914.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20221203011121.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5FC1DBA072D811EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
