'œAlthough, paradoxically, Nelson Rockefeller was never elected to any federal post, he was among the most influential politicians in postwar America. ... This well-researched study analyzes Rockefeller's political philosophy and his gubernatorial performance. It portrays him as patron and practitioner of what the authors label 'pragmatic liberalism'.... The thorough analysis of gubernatorial policy making is an especially welcome addition to the state politics literature. Recommended for all upper division and graduate libraries.''
