The God strategy : how religion became a political weapon in America

Domke, David Scott. (Author). Coe, Kevin M. (Added Author).

Summary: "In the God Strategy, David Domke and Kevin Coe offer a timely and dynamic study of the rise of religion in American politics, examining the public messages of political leaders over the past seventy-five years - from the 1932 election of Franklin Roosevelt to the early stages of the 2008 presidential race. They conclude that U.S. politics today is defined by a calculated, deliberate, and partisan use of faith that is unprecedented in modern politics."--BOOK JACKET.
