Roosevelt's campaign manager. As party boss, Farley experienced unprecedented success in the New Deal years. And like his modern counterpart Karl Rove, Farley enjoyed unparalleled access and power. Unlike Rove, however, Farley was instrumental in the creation of an overwhelming new majority in American politics, as the emergence of the New Deal transformed the political landscape of its time. Mr. Democrat is timely and indispensable not just because Farley was a fascinating and unduly neglected figure, but also because an understanding of his career advances our knowledge of how and why he revolutionized the Democratic Party and American politics in the age of the New Deal. Daniel Scroop is Lecturer in American History, University of Liverpool School of History.Mister DemocratPoliticiansUnited StatesBiographyPostmasters generalUnited StatesBiographyNew Deal, 1933-1939Politics, PracticalUnited StatesLegislatorsNew York (State)BiographyUnited StatesPolitics and government1933-1945New York (State)Politics and government1865-1950PoliticiansPostmasters generalNew Deal, 1933-1939.Politics, PracticalLegislators973.917/092BScroop Daniel1973-1871203Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967853103321Mr. Democrat4479916UNINA
