Today’s Between the Covers podcast is with Michael Bowen, author of The Roots of Modern Conservatism: Dewey, Taft, and the Battle for the Soul of the Republican Party. We discuss the parallels between the GOP fights of yesterday and today, whether President Obama hopes to model his reelection on Harry Truman’s campaign in 1948, and whether there had to be a Taft before there could be a Goldwater.
