Big Sky Politics
Big Sky Politics is an overdue, detailed account of post-war politics in Montana. Starting with the break-up of the New Deal coalition in 1946 and ending with the most recent off-year election in 2002, Big Sky Politics lays out each general election for president, governor, U.S. Senate and Congress with well-researched commentary. Each summary has a detailed map showing which candidate each county supported. Photos, graphs, and certified election results complete the picture and bring each political contest to life.

Great little book that profiles Montana politics from WWII up until 2002 or so. It has tables in the back that are a lot better than the PDFs the Secretary of State has. You get wonderful stories of the candidates and how they ran for office. There are super tidbits for anyone interested in politics today. What's more, you get a very good history of the state from the 1960s onward, and that just doesn't exist anywhere else very much.

A very informative and easily consumable political history of Montana highlighting the major trends and the unique aspects of Montana and its very solidly rooted constituents.
