This two-volume work portrays, election by election, the diverse ways in which presidential candidates have carried their messages and personalities to the electorate. Each election is covered in a short, readable essay by a well-known scholar. Each essay is accompanied by full-colour illustrations of campaign artifacts: banners, posters, ribbons, buttons, songs, cartoons, and other relevant articles. This book is intended for anyone interested in American history, politics, the American presidency, and in the collectibles that are a part of every campaign.
