The Dynamic Dominion tells the dramatic story of Virginia's political transformation since the Second World War. The cradle of American democracyóand thus of the democratic movement that is sweeping the globe todayóthe venerable Old Dominion has emerged again in the second half of the 20th century as a dynamic political pacesetter for the nation. Virginia today has become a national bellwether, studied by political analysts and strategists in both parties for clues to the direction of the nation.
