BESCHLOSS, Michael R.
Kennedy and Roosevelt: An Uneasy Alliance.
New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 1980.
First edition of the historian's first book. Octavo, original half cloth.

Michael Beschloss April 2, 1980." The recipient Theodore Sizer was a leader of educational reform in the United States, the founder (and eventually President Emeritus) of the Essential school movement and was known for challenging longstanding practices and assumptions about the functioning of American secondary schools. Beginning in the late 1970s, he had worked with hundreds of high schools, studying the development and design of the American educational system, leading to his major work Horace's Compromise in 1984. In the same year, he founded the Coalition of Essential Schools based on the principles espoused in Horace's Compromise. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Edward P. Diehl. Foreword by James MacGregor Burns.
