This engaging narrative takes us behind the scenes and past the analyses and renders the inside story of the Allen County (Ohio) Democratic Party during the late 1980s and early 1990s.More than just portraying the internal dynamics of a political party, Not All Politics Is Local affords the reader an insight into political life and the contributions to society made by local parties. For Angel, political parties do more than register voters and win elections: they engage the public in dialogue and challenge citizens to take responsibility for their government.

For John Watts Hevener –

The Governor had leaned across the table, bigger than life, stabbing at egg yolk, and put the idea to him: “Ain’t no use fomentin’. Learned that long ago. Ain’t no use ’cept in the last extremity. You want to overturn the existin’ institution, that’s ﬁne. But you got to be sure you know how to build a better one.” —Billy Lee Brammer,The Gay Place
