About this product
Product Information
Virginia in the Vanguard continues the story, begun in the Dynamic Dominion, of Virginia's reemergence as a competitive, trend-setting state. In the 1980s, with Reagan's revolution underway in Washington, Democrats led by Chuck Robb and Doug Wilder, the nation's only African American elected governor, reclaimed the governor's mansion and focused attention on a centrist formula as a prescription for Democratic renewal nationally. In the 1990s, hard-charging Republican George Allen reversed the party's fortunes and propelled the GOP toward control of the state's legislature and both U.S. Senate seats. Virginia in the Vanguard describes these and other dramatic events that have placed the 400 year-old cradle of democracy back in the forefront of American politics and produced two dynamic leaders--Republican Senator George Allen and former Democrat Governor Mark Warner--widely touted as presidential timber.

Reviews
Frank Atkinson is a rare combination of scholar and practitioner--recognized by all of us who have covered Virginia politics as one of the keenest minds in either party or on either side of the reporter's notebook. Virginia in the Vanguard arrives with superb timing, just as two of Virginia's most interesting and capable politicians are springing on national notice. Atkinson's work will alert readers outside Virginia to something I learned long ago--the Old Dominion has one of the most distinctive, entertaining, and occasionally outrageous, political cultures of any state in the union., Virginia has changed from a political backwater to a powerhouse in the past quarter century--the significance of which was missed by almost everyone except Frank Atkinson. He explains--brilliantly, I'd say--how it happened and why it's so important, especially now that Virginia is not as red a state as it once was. You won't understand Virginia's pivotal role in the 2008 presidential race without Atkinson's help and, besides, Virginia in the Vanguard is a great read., Virginia in the Vanguard deserves a place on the bookshelf of anyone interested in the recent political history of the Commonwealth.
