Both men overcame defeat early in their political careers and rose to the highest elected offices in their respective countries.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%"> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%">The authors demonstrate how and why Reagan and Yeltsin succeeded in their political aspirations, despite—or perhaps because of—their apparent “policy extremism”: that is, their advocacy of policy positions far from the mainstream. The book analyzes the viability of policy extremism as a political strategy that enables candidates to forge new coalitions and outflank conventional political allegiances.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%"></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"></p><div>Kiron K.
