Zusammenfassung:"The Republican Party has dominated Texas politics in recent decades, but for a long time after Reconstruction ended the Texas GOP was little more than a vehicle for federal patronage (i.e., getting appointed to a Washington job as a reward for serving the party in a Republican backwater like Texas). Thorburn begins with this history, from the founding of the party in 1867 through patronage battles and the debates of the 1920s between Reconstruction-minded Republicans and segregationists. About two-thirds of the book is devoted to the second half of the 20th century, with the emergence of a more competitive party in the 1950s-60s through the swing years and the eventual dominance of the 21st century"--
