Abstract
Ostler's review and interpretation of political events in Iowa is convincing, and the tables he provides clearly show a marked difference in voting patterns on either side of the Nebraska/Kansas and Iowa borders. His treatment of the political situation in Nebraska and Kansas is not as thorough, however, since it focuses mainly on the doings of Alliance members and does not give as detailed attention to the Republican Party. Overall this book is engaging reading and accessible to a wide audience.
