When and why do democratic governments respond to their citizens?
When things go bad for Colton Banyon, a middle-aged businessman, they really go bad. With all his financial difficulties and failed personal relationships, he is worried about the future. Worse, he seems to have a White Supremacy group chasing him, although he has no idea why they have targeted him. Then, an organized group of bandits invade his house! He soon gets help from unexpected quarters, though, leading to an erotic adventure and ultimately to the uncovering of a plot that was devised by the Nazi high command during World War II. The plot involves the true written history of the Aryan race, and Banyon begins to believe that everything has been put into motion and is controlled by one personthe mysterious Walter Pierce, a dying man who perhaps wants to implement the old Nazi plan before he leaves earth.

Uneasy Alliances is a powerful challenge to how we think about the relationship between race, political parties, and American democracy. While scholars frequently claim that the need to win elections makes government officials responsive to any and all voters, Paul Frymer shows that not all groups are treated equally; politicians spend most of their time and resources on white swing voters--to the detriment of the African American community. As both parties try to attract white swing voters by distancing themselves from blacks, black voters are often ignored and left with unappealing alternatives.
