""This intriguing study offers a radical system for determining in advance the winners of American presidential elections, a system integrating historical analysis and mathematical pattern-recognition methods."" -- Publishers Weekly "Of the hundreds of books written about presidential elections, one of the best is Allan J. Lichtman's The Keys to the White House." -- Roll Call "An important reminder to all of us, professional political analysts and interested citizens and observers alike, that fundamentals matter. Presidential elections are not personality contests or astrological events. Rational forces drive presidential election outcomes and nobody does a better job of making that case than Lichtman does." --Charlie Cook, editor, The Cook Political Report, political analyst, National Journal and NBC News.
