This book tells the true story of what happened when culture wars collided with small-town democracy in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. Set against the backdrop of the 1990s Republican Revolution, this deeply researched narrative traces how broad ideological movements—religious conservatism, anti-tax activism, and partisan fervor—filtered down to a local school board election and divided a community. Blends political history, local journalism, and firsthand accounts into a compelling historical case study. (129pp. Illus. index. Masthof Press, 2026.)
