Book cover image for Rally
“Scholars, pundits, and citizens have long posited that presidents go to war to generate public support. Yet, scholarship has lagged behind these claims until now. This book provides the most comprehensive and insightful investigation of the rally around the flag effect. It specifies when it occurs and when it does not. It is required reading for all who care about American democracy and its place in the world.” – James N. Druckman, Northwestern University
