@henrymjtonks @PublicSeminar I would love to see that happen! I just read a great book about Clifford Case by William R. Fernekes. There is so much more work to be done.

What ever happened to the Party of Lincoln? | Read me in @PublicSeminar on what @MarshaEBarrett’s rich, fascinating new book “Nelson Rockefeller’s Dilemma” tells us about the fall of moderate Republicanism. #GOP #USHistory #USPolitics https://t.co/4mKVEdIkCW

Just learned that the documentary based on my new book is airing at 9 PM EST TONIGHT on select PBS stations nationwide. I'm not sure if it will air in your area but if so, I hope you watch!

I'm still thinking about my fantastic conversation with @chucktodd about my book Nelson Rockefeller's Dilemma! It's been a dream of mine to share my work with people that feel a personal connection to Rockefeller Republicanism. Thank you!

@B_Classic Congratulations!!

So… this is like the opposite of 1968

I discussed my book Nelson Rockefeller's Dilemma with Sam Roberts on his show NYT CloseUp. It was a real treat to discuss Rockefeller with a journalist who reported extensively on the former NY Governor and Vice President.

[Marsha Barrett @MarshaEBarrett]

It isn't the popular convention for discussion at the moment (1968 DNC), but I wrote an article that highlights Nelson Rockefeller and moderate Republicans at the 1964 RNC. 60 years ago this week.
