A nice consolidation of information in one package. . . . The content in the book is well researched and about as comprehensive as one would expect in a general historical dictionary.

American Reference Books Annual

Recommended for academic and large public library collections with a need for resources in the political sciences.

Booklist

This is a useful book for anybody mired in the study of U.S. politics. It is handy, practical, compact. The Historical Dictionary of United States Political Parties provides a no-nonsense one-volume guide to every aspect of party competition: practices, institutions, job titles, political figures and of course, the parties themselves….Bass has written a solid, utilitarian volume…quite useful.
