What is The politics of rage : George Wallace, the origins of the new conservatism, and the transformation of American politics about?

Combining biography with regional and national history, Dan T. Carter chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of George Wallace, a populist who abandoned his ideals to become a national symbol of racism, and later begged for forgiveness. In The Politics of Rage, Carter argues persuasively that the four-time Alabama governor and four-time presidential candidate helped to establish the conservative political movement that put Ronald Reagan in the White House in 1980 and gave Newt Gingrich and the Republicans control of Congress in 1994. In this second edition, Carter updates Wallace's story with a look at the politician's death and the nation's reaction to it and gives a summary of his own sense of the legacy of "the most important loser in twentieth-century American politics.". <p>In the first unauthorized study of George Wallace and his legacy in 20 years, Carter builds upon decades of research to show how Wallace's campaign of "segregation forever" transcended regional parochialism to evolve into a national conservative, anti-Washington constituency.
