The Revolution of 28 explores the career of New York governor and 1928 Democratic presidential nominee Alfred E. Smith. Robert Chiles peers into Smiths work and uncovers a distinctive strain of American progressivism that resonated among urban, ethnic, workingclass Americans in the early twentieth century. The book charts the rise of that idiomatic progressivism during Smiths early years as a state legislator through his time as governor of the Empire State in the 1920s, before proceeding to a revisionist narrative of the 1928 presidential campaign, exploring the ways in which Smiths gubernatorial progressivism was presented to a national audience. As Chiles points out, newstock voters responded enthusiastically to Smith's candidacy on both economic and cultural levels.Chiles offers a historical argument that describes the impact of this coalition on the new liberal formation that was to come with Franklin Delano Roosevelts New Deal, demonstrating the broad practical consequences of Smiths political career. In particular, Chiles notes how Smiths progressive agenda became Democratic partisan dogma and a rallying point for policy formation and electoral success at the state and national levels. Chiles sets the record straight in The Revolution of 28 by paying close attention to how Smith identified and activated his emergent coalition and put it to use in his campaign of 1928, before quickly losing control over it after his failed presidential bid.
