Pledging Allegiance: The Last Campaign of the Cold War

Sidney Blumenthal. HarperCollins Publishers, $12 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-06-092110-1

Blumenthal, senior editor of The New Republic , discusses the U.S. in relation to global politics from 1985 to 1990. ``His wide-angled, trenchant analysis includes . . . a withering reconstruction of the 1988 presidential campaign and a convincing argument that the presidency of George Bush is based not on the Reagan model but on the Nixon presidency,'' said PW.
