Description:s/t: Blind Republicans, Lame Democrats & the Recovery of American Ideals"This book, by one of America's most intelligent & decent political writers, tells liberals how the conservative movement rose & fell, & how they could emulate its successes while avoiding its failures."--George Packer, author of Blood of the Liberals & The Assassins' Gate "No one is better than Todd Gitlin at describing the crucial dynamic thru which movements gain or lose political power. Justly celebrated for his seminal work on such dynamics during the 1960s, Gitlin now explains everything that's happened since, with passion & wisdom--& happily, because of Bushism's collapse, legitimate optimism about the future."--Michael Tomasky, Editor, Guardian America "An impassioned yet realistic plea for Democrats & liberals to become more serious about politics. They would do well to follow his advice."--Alan Wolfe, Director, Boisi Center for Religion & American Public Life, Boston College "A brilliant & indispensable book. Gitlin convincingly urges liberals to take seriously the greater difficulty the Democrats have forging cohesion among identity-based groups over the Republicans persuading the less diverse Republican base to bury disagreements in the drive for victory. Gitlin argues that Democrats will have to bite the bullet & unite under a big tent. It's a hard lesson for ardent newcomers to the movement to swallow. Gitlin is dead right."--Thomas B. Edsall, Special Correspondent, The New Republic "This is an indispensable book by one of our most gifted public intellectuals. Todd Gitlin explains--with splendid scholarship, reporting & wit--how the Bush machine debased our political life & how progressives, in all their variety, are struggling to build a new majority. It is the best guide we have to America's recent past & its possible future."--Michael Kazin, author of A Godly Hero: The Life of William Jennings Bryan & Professor of History, Georgetown UniversityWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
