The biography of a pivotal figure who embodied and exemplified the tradition of liberal activism in the post-World War II era. Lowenstein helped shape American political culture and influenced thousands of young disciples, many of whom now hold positions of power. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
A beautifully written (if at times exhausting) biography of the Don Quixote of late 20th century American liberalism, Al Lowenstein. It reads with the grandeur of Greek tragedy. Highly recommended.
