Campaign of Ideas The 1980 Anderson/Lucey Platform

Clifford W. Brown, Jr. and Robert J. Walker outline and analyze the entire Anderson/Lucey platform.

They also briefly describe the Anderson campaign, focusing on Anderson's rise to national attention, the role of the research department that produced the platform, the process of writing it, and its reception by the national news media.Brown, Clifford W., Jr. is the author of 'Campaign of Ideas The 1980 Anderson/Lucey Platform' with ISBN 9780313245350 and ISBN 0313245355.
