By John Ziff

Republicans were brimming with optimism in January 2015, when the GOP assumed control of both chambers of Congress. By Year's end, how-ever, the optimism has turned to disappointment and anger.

The GOP, analysis observed, was at a crossroads. It could follow a path charted in the 1980s be President Ronald Reagan, a staunch conservative who nonetheless recognized that governance often requires political compromise. Or it could follow a path advocated by a more recent breed of republicans who insist on ideological purity and relish conformation. Read this book to find out how the modern Republican Party evolved - and where it might be headed. Book jacket.
