"Hollywood was not always a bastion of liberalism. Following World War II, an informal
alliance of movie stars, studio moguls and Southern California business interests
formed to revitalize a factionalized Republican Party. Coming together were stars
such as John Wayne, Robert Taylor, George Murphy and many others, who joined studio
heads Cecil B. DeMille, Louis B. Mayer, Walt Disney and Jack Warner to rebuild the
Republican Party. They found support among a large group of business leaders who poured
money and skills into this effort, which paid off with the election of George Murphy
to the US Senate and of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan to the highest office in the
nation. This is an exciting story based on extensive new research that will forever
change how we think of Hollywood politics." -- Publisher website
