But Al From remembers. In 1984  he led a small band of governors  US senators  and members of Congress to organize the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC). Their mission: to rescue the party from the political wilderness  redefine its message  and  most importantly  win presidential elections. In April 1989  From traveled to Little Rock  Arkansas  to recruit the states young governor  Bill Clinton  to be chairman of the DLC. Here  Al From explores the founding philosophy of the New Democrats  which not only achieved stunning validation during Clintons two terms  but also became the model for resurgent center-left parties in Europe and throughout the democratic world. Here  he outlines for the first time the principles at the heart of the movement  including economic centrism  national security  and entitlement reform  and why they are vital to the success of the Democratic Party in the years ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966624100405,"sku":"ByrdShop_1137278641","price":27.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781137278647.jpg?v=1770572022","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-new-democrats-and-the-return-to-power","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
