New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xic, 266 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Inscribed on the half-title page by Al From. Inscription reads To Paul Boyle Warm Regards Al From. Foreword by Bill Clinton. Al From (born May 31, 1943) is the founder and former CEO of the Democratic Leadership Council. His ideas and political strategies during the past quarter century played a central role in the resurgence of the modern Democratic Party. From is the author of The New Democrats and the Return to Power. In 2000, at a speech at Hyde Park, President Bill Clinton said, "It would be hard to think of a single American citizen who, as a private citizen, has had a more positive impact on the progress of American life in the last 25 years than Al From." From led the DLC from its inception in 1985 until he stepped down as CEO in April 2009. From played a prominent role in the 1992 election of President Bill Clinton – and served as domestic policy advisor to the Clinton Transition – prompting USA Today to write: "The ideas at the crux of the Clinton candidacy were largely drafted by the DLC." Today, many of the ideas that comprise the core of the agenda of the Democratic Party's conservative wing come from work done under From's leadership at the DLC. National service, an expanded Earned Income Tax Credit, welfare reform, charter schools, community policing, expanded trade and re-inventing government were all championed by scholars and analysts at the DLC before becoming public policy. Alice McKeon is a writer, historian, producer, and political communications strategy professional with many years of experience in the political realm. More
