Outlawing the Spoils: A History of the Civil Service Reform Movement, 1865-1883University of Illinois Press, 1961 - 306 strani Civil service reform was a major political issue in the post-Civil War United States. It made and broke presidents, would-be presidents, and a number of lesser political futures. No other American movement has claimed more intellectual and social leaders. Among them were Henry Adams, Carl Schurz, E. L. Godkin, George William Curtis, Charles Eliot Norton, Henry C. Lea, and Henry Villard. This books examines the reform movement using both standard historical techniques and the methodology of the sociologist and social psychologist to mirror the role of civil service reformers while showing the history of their movement. |
