Hello y'all,
I just finished a Nixon Biography and it really piqued my interest about 20th century US politics, so I wanted to ask if there's any recommendations. I'm European and usually read books about European history, but I have a solid base when it comes to American history.
I'm especially interested in elections and Party politics. stuff like nixons southern strategy or the party switch, failed presidential candidates as well as third party candidates and things like the new deal coalition.
Also social issues like segregation or economic ones like the rise of neoliberalism.
All of this in the time frame from including FDR to including Bill Clinton.
If anyone can recommend me books that touch on as many as these topics as possible, even if they initially don't go in depth, I would be very thankful. I can always look for a specific topic later if I find something that really interests me, but right now I would like to get a broad overview first.
Thank you very much and I hope all of you have a nice day
