Highly Influenced. Sam McFarland. A short summary of this paper. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in public attitudes toward war, or toward foreign policy more generally.
I recommend the preface of the book to all graduate students who wonder about how projects develop, or how academic careers are shaped over time. But the preface made me wish that I could have read the book that Berinsky initially wanted to write—one that was devoted solely to public attitudes on World War II.
The decision to incorporate insights from later conflicts is reasonable. It allows the book to have both a larger intellectual scope and perhaps a wider market.
I often found myself wishing that Berinsky had spent more time following up on intriguing results in the World War II analysis in place of sections on the far better docu- mented later conflicts.

From through , high-authoritarian Democrats abstained from voting, voted Repub- lican, and then became Republican, while low-authoritarian Republicans pro- gressed in the same way to becoming Democrats.
During these years, the gap in authoritarianism between Democrat and Republican voters for president increased from 8 to Even stronger shifts occurred for senatorial votes, when by the gap between those who voted for Democratic and Republican senatorial candidates was 26 percentage points.
In simultaneous regressions, including 15 demographic and attitudinal predictors, authoritarianism did not predict party identification in but appears as the strongest single predictor by But even if the general public is not more polarized, the elected representa- tives of the two major parties certainly are. Beyond this general theme and findings, Hetherington and Weiler offer impor- tant new data on the relationship of threat and authoritarianism.
