"The chapters have been thoroughly updated to include recent scholarship and the latest developments at home and abroad. The largest changes were occasioned by the 2008 presidential election, which in both its candidates and its consequences has altered American politics far more than anyone would have predicted two years ago, when the previous edition was published." -- Preface
