Reviews"Campaigns are more consequential for the lessons they impart to future candidates and campaign professionals, the author contends, as he adeptly demonstrates how the 1988 presidential campaign foreshadowed the politics to come. This very well-written book--indeed one might even call it a page-turner--is replete with interesting stories and will appeal to anyone interested in American politics. Highly recommended."-- Choice "Pitney's portrait of the 1988 election is a needed refresher on how presidential politics used to work."-- Washington Times, "A lucid, engaging, and informative book that students of American politics will of American politics will find valuable."-- Journal of Arizona History "Pitney has given us a fantastic, insightful, down-the-middle account of [the 1988] election.

Pitney's retelling highlights the candidates, issues, and media environment of that time and juxtaposes them with our current political world. This engaging, well-written book is much more than an expert analysis of one memorable election from thirty years ago--it's a thoughtful exploration of how much, for better and for worse, our politics has changed since then."-- Jeffrey Crouch , author of The Presidential Pardon Power "This fine book might well be subtitled Present at the Creation . Pitney's argument--that in the Bush-Dukakis race of 1988 we find the seeds of present-day presidential politics in both parties--is both timely and well supported. Judiciously argued and gracefully written, After Reagan makes a worthy contribution to the literature."-- John Robert Greene , author of The Presidency of George H. W. Bush, Second Edition, Revised, "Pitney's analysis is masterful in substance and style. This is a lively, perceptive, and informative account that comes across---even for someone who already knows quite a bit about the 1988 election--as something new and better and altogether necessary."-- Political Science Quarterly "A lucid, engaging, and informative book that students of American politics will of American politics will find valuable."-- Journal of Arizona History "Pitney has given us a fantastic, insightful, down-the-middle account of [the 1988] election.

SynopsisA timely and well argued case that in the Bush-Dukakis race of 1988 we find the seeds of present-day presidential politics in both parties., Upon the 2018 death of George H. W. Bush, pundits and politicians mourned the passing of an exemplar of the statesmanship and bipartisan ethos of an earlier day. The judgment, though sound, would have shocked observers of the 1988 election that put Bush in the White House. From a scholar who played a small role in that long-ago election, After Reagan provides an eye-opening look at a presidential campaign that few suspected marked the end of an era--or the rise of forces roiling our political landscape today. Willie Horton. "Read my lips: No new taxes." Michael Dukakis in a helmet, in a tank. Though these are remembered as pivotal moments in a presidential campaign recalled as whisker-close, in his book John J. Pitney Jr. reminds us how large Bush's victory actually was, and how much it depended on social conditions and political dynamics that would change dramatically in the coming years. A turning point toward the post-Cold War, hyper-partisan, culturally divided politics of our time, the election of 1988 took place in a very different world. After Reagan captures a moment when campaigns were funded from the federal Treasury; when Republicans had a lock on the presidency and Democrats controlled Congress; when the electorate was considerably whiter and less educated than today's; and when the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union--and the subsequent rise of globalization--were virtually unimaginable. Many books tell us that elections have consequences. Pitney's explains how campaigns are consequential--the 1988 campaign more than most. From the perspective of the last thirty years, After Reagan shows us the 1988 election in a truly new light--one that, in turn, reveals the links between the campaign of 1988 and the politics of the twenty-first century.
