description: This title offers a sweeping portrait of the American political landscape, by one of its most incisive chroniclers. The Death of Liberal America is a brilliant, intimate account of the last turbulent decade in US politics. From the Monica Lewinsky affair, to cultural developments and America's catastrophic foreign-policy interventions post-9/11, Cockburn's candid and pungent prose cuts to the heart of contemporary political hypocrisy. Blending the personal, the comical and the political, The Death of Liberal America is at the same time a memoir of the failures of the Bush era, an exploration of how the Democrats lost their way, the neutering of America's political system, and a diary of a radical life. Throughout, it breathes the passionate, critical acuity for which Cockburn is renowned, and which sets him apart from any journalist writing in America today.
