Redeeming Democracy in America (American Political Thought)
"Dazzling. Carey McWilliams understood America-- perhaps more deeply than any public intellectual in the past quarter century. This book offers us his bravura tour through American thought, history, literature, religion, law, and culture. It sparkles with wisdom, insight, and jeremiads. Powerful. Learned. Graceful. Omnivorous. Brilliant. An altogether exhilarating read."--James A. Morone, author ofThe Democratic Wish"A wonderful book by an important thinker."--Harvey Mansfield, author ofThe Spirit of Liberalism"Brilliant and timely, this treasure trove displays McWilliams's unsurpassed gift for penetrating America's political soul."--Sidney M. Milkis, author ofTheodore Roosevelt, the Progressive Party, and the Transformation of American Democracy
