DESCRIPTION:Eric Alterman delivers the definitive history of American postwar 
 liberalism, told through the lens of those who brought it to 
 life\n\nLiberalism stands proudly at the center of American politics and 
 culture. Driven by passion for social justice, tempered by respect for the 
 difficulty of change, liberals have struggled to end economic inequality, 
 racial discrimination, and political repression. Liberals have fueled their 
 cause with the promise of American life and visions of national greatness, 
 seeking to transform the White House; the halls of Congress, the courts, 
 the worlds of entertainment, law, media, and the course of public opinion. 
 Bestselling author, journalist, and historian Eric Alterman, together with 
 historian Kevin Mattson, traces the history of liberal ideals through the 
 lives and struggles of fascinating personalities. THE CAUSE tells the 
 remarkable story of politicians, intellectuals, visionaries, activists, and 
 public personalities battling for the heart and soul of the nation. \n\nThe 
 first full-scale treatment of postwar liberalism, THE CAUSE offers an epic 
 saga driven by stories of grand aspirations, principled ambitions, tragic 
 flaws, and the ironies of history of the people who fought for America to 
 live up to the highest ideals of its history.\n\nEric Alterman the author 
 of Why We’re Liberals, What Liberal Media?, and Kabuki Democracy, among 
 many other books, and Distinguished Professor of English and Journalism at 
 Brooklyn College and CUNY Graduate School of Journalism; a columnist for 
 The Nation, The Forward, and The Daily Beast; and a Senior Fellow at the 
 Center for American Progress, the Nation Institute, and the World Policy 
 Institute. He lives in New York City. \n\n
