    About this ebook

    The New York Times bestselling dazzling portrait of America on the verge of a nervous breakdown in the tumultuous political and economic times of the 1970s.

    In January of 1973 Richard Nixon announced the end of the Vietnam War and prepared for a triumphant second term—until televised Watergate hearings revealed his White House as little better than a mafia den. The next president declared upon Nixon’s resignation “our long national nightmare is over”—but then congressional investigators exposed the CIA for assassinating foreign leaders. The collapse of the South Vietnamese government rendered moot the sacrifice of some 58,000 American lives. The economy was in tatters. And as Americans began thinking about their nation in a new way—as one more nation among nations, no more providential than any other—the pundits declared that from now on successful politicians would be the ones who honored this chastened new national mood.

    Ronald Reagan never got the message. Which was why, when he announced his intention to challenge President Ford for the 1976 Republican nomination, those same pundits dismissed him—until, amazingly, it started to look like he just might win. He was inventing the new conservative political culture we know now, in which a vision of patriotism rooted in a sense of American limits was derailed in America’s Bicentennial year by the rise of the smiling politician from Hollywood. Against a backdrop of melodramas from the Arab oil embargo to Patty Hearst to the near-bankruptcy of America’s greatest city, The Invisible Bridge asks the question: what does it mean to believe in America? To wave a flag—or to reject the glibness of the flag wavers?

      Quite a good read, especially on the rise of the religious right from the ashes of political defeat and the depth of their feelings. Perlstein is probably correct that there is no compromise possible between pro and anti abortion groups. Who knows whether his virulent analyses of Reagan and Carter are correct?
    • 4/5
      American political history from the fall of Nixon to the rise of Reagan (ending with his unsuccessful bid for the nomination in 1976). The more history I read, the more I think that Americans have always been just as apocalyptic, which in one way is reason for hope. There is never any last act in American politics; we always stumble from crisis to crisis. In the 1960s, many Americans thought their country and their world—emphasis “theirs” –had gone mad. In the 1970s, mainstream media made comparisons between bankrupt New York City and the Weimar Republic. One theme that emerges, though its causal relationship to the wild judderings of American politics is unclear, is that America’s political pundits are essentially always completely wrong. Reagan and the New Right were pronounced dead zillions of times; Watergate was declared a closed chapter pretty much every week. The book ends with one confident editorial explanation that Reagan was now, in 1976, too old for another presidential run. Another noticeable thing is that right-wing domestic terrorism has been around for a long time, not just racist terrorism, and few people connect the dots between classroom bombings in West Virginia, protesting “progressive” textbooks, and abortion clinic bombings.
    • 5/5
      The Invisible Bridge is an apt title for the latest installment of Rick Perlstein’s historical series on the rise of modern conservatism in American politics. After the scandal of Watergate, the Establishment of the Republican Party was desperate to repudiate its former head and his politics while the right wing looked to give American “a choice, not an echo”. The showdown between President Gerald Ford and Governor Ronald Reagan was thought a cakewalk by the political and media establishment who had not learned the lessons from 1964 and beyond.Like the previous two book in the series, Perlstein shows that politics and history do not occur in a vacuum as cultural, entertainment, and societal issues during the middle part of the 1970s are covered and how they related to political scene of the time as well. In the wake of Watergate and the resignation of Nixon, the Democratic Party was so certain of victory in 1976 that numerous candidates entered to win the nomination and a sure term as President, only for a complete unknown to the Establishment—Jimmy Carter—to come out with the nomination. Yet the main thrust of the entire book is the 1976 nomination fight between Ford and Reagan; how it came about, how it was contested, and how it ended at the Kansas City convention.Although history and politics are central to this book, Perlstein doesn’t shy away from giving biographies of the three important individuals of the period: Carter, Ford, and Reagan. The portraits those biographies provide are for the most part not very pretty, especially for those who idolize Ronald Reagan as Perlstein doesn’t pull any punches about his life. But for those who think Perlstein out to get Reagan, the image Perlstein shows of Carter is anything but rosy or positive and gives a hint about how he’ll portray the 39th President in his next book which will not make Carter fans very happy as well. Of the three major figures in this book, Gerald Ford comes out the best though in a way Perlstein gives the impression that Ford was more an individual desirous of pity than praise.I began this review by saying that The Invisible Bridge was an apt title for this book and the reason was that not until looking back from the perspective of 1980 and beyond did anyone see that in 1976 when Ford won the Republican nomination that it was pyrrhic victory by a moderate conservative of a party increasingly controlled by the far right conservatives. Only in hindsight could the pundits and historians see the once hidden bridge of how the crushed right wing of 1964 had taken over by 1976, that bridge was one man who it turned out won by losing.

      Rick Perlstein's third volume of narrative political history, The Invisible Bridge covers the tumultuous years between Nixon's reelection and the 1976 Republican convention. A straight-up chronicle of these years in politics would probably be an interesting enough read, but as in the previous volumes, Perlstein deftly brings in the cultural contexts surrounding the political news of the day. This, combined with Perlstein's lively writing style and his great skill at sussing out the stories behind the headlines, makes this another excellent read.
    • 4/5
      This isn't quite the achievement that Nixonland is, and it's overly long -- seriously, I am the target audience for this book and even I grew impatient when I realized that its 800 pages only covered the years from late 1973 through the summer of 1976.

      Still, Perlstein is very good on Jimmy Carter and especially on Ronald Reagan's primary challenge to Gerald Ford; his coverage of the 1976 Republican convention reads like a battle in Game of Thrones, albeit with microphones and dancing First Ladies instead of swords and dragons. (Perlstein doesn't connect the dots to contemporary American politics, but it's impossible not to notice parallels.) If you have a strong interest in late twentieth-century politics and a high degree of patience, you'll likely enjoy this book; if discussions of delegate counts make your eyes glaze over, it might not be the book for you.
    • 5/5
      I read Perlstein's book Nixonland on 20 Jan 2009. This volume, The Invisible Bridge, takes up where that book left off and relates in fascianting detail the steps of Nixon to his doom. Reagan at all times refused to say anything derogatory about Nixon and one gets the idea that he would have ignored Nixon's crimes. Then the book, relying on newspapers, magazines, and books of the time, tell of the fascinating events which led up to the 1976 Conventions. The book has no source notes but the source notes are on line and are "clickable" which makes the source notes even more useful. There are detailed accounts of the exciting things going on in the years 1972 to 1976. I was very aware of those things as they went on but was surprised that so much seemed new to me--either I forgot what I once knew, or I did not follow the news as carefully as I thought I did.. The faults and strengths of Reagan are made clear, as one stands in amazement at the gullibility of the people who thought Reagan was a great man. One also reflects that there was in the Republican party at that time a respectable liberal wing--which has now been totally expeled from any power in that party. In other words, the kooks of 1964 have completely taken over that party

      Though I lived through this period of history (Perlstein's book covers the period from the run-up to Nixon's election to a second term to Gerald Ford's nomination to run for a full term of his own after succeeding Nixon following his forced resignation), I'd forgotten just how turbulent the times were. Over and above Watergate and its catastrophic fallout and deep divisions within America about the war in Vietnam, all sorts of chaos were going on.Perlstein takes us through it all. He goes into depth in presenting background information about Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, two of the least likely presidents we'll probably ever had. The overriding context, though, is the rise of the right wing of the Republican Party.His attention to factual details appears to be exhaustive, but the attention of the book's copy editor is less than perfect. Given the fact that the text itself runs over 800 pages, though, maybe that's understandable.
    • 4/5
      A lengthy and unflattering portrait of both Nixon and Reagan. Interesting anecdotes about Reagan who in many ways was as deceitful and ruthless as Nixon. As indicated, quite voluminous but very readable and informative.
    • 4/5
      I didn't think the topic could be this engrossing. But wow! the book charged along and took me with it. Splendid as an overview of what went on just before everything I've lived through.
    • 4/5
      This is the third book in a series about the rise of conservatism in American politics since 1964, following The Gathering Storm and Nixonland. Extensively researched and very well written with flashes of humor, these are excellent books about U.S. politics in the late 20th century.
    • 5/5
      I've knocked off a half star because of too much cultural history and the often ambiguity of what year a particular event is occurring in -- he sometimes skips around a bit in time. Otherwise, it's another worthy volume in his series on the rise of the right in America. The events in this volume coincide with most of my college years -- years in which my interests were my studies and my friendships, with current events something to just shake my head at with dismay. So there is a lot about the 1976 presidential campaigns in this book that I hadn't known about at the time. We all thought Ford was a pretty bad president, but herein are the facts of just how bad. It's also very good on tying together the events in Reagan's life with his emerging political "philosophy", if it can be called that. The first Republican president to be rather on the dim side but just so folksy and seemingly harmless, the book shows how right-wing politicos and pundits were brought into his inner circle and kept his schtick going. I found the book enlightening on the persona of Jimmy Carter. He was a cagey dude who polished a persona that obscured his almost total lack of ability. He had a great organization and his single real talent was pulling the wool over the eyes of the populace. I don't doubt that there are aspects of him that weren't artificial, but I think they were more of a religious nature. He only beat Ford because of almost a total sweep of the Southern states in the election. Maybe they thought he was truly one of them. Maybe he was.It was a bizarre election year. You could imagine that Rockefeller would have bailed out, or that Birch Bayh would have been the Democratic nominee, or any of several other outcomes. It's all here, the train wreck of the aftermath of Watergate.
