"There has been a marked increase in the variety of pressure groups on the American political scene since World War II. New organizations, acting for women, ethnic minorities and the "public interest," have emerged to challenge the domination of the old-established pressure groups. The book assesses the style and impact of these new groups. Their evolution is traced in the context of the intellectual traditions and social structure that have shaped dissent in America from colonial times." --Jacket copy.
