The changing face of the liberal creed from the ancient world to
today The Lost History of Liberalism challenges our most basic
assumptions about a political creed that has become a rallying
cry-and a term of derision-in today's increasingly divided public
square. Taking readers from ancient Rome to today, Helena
Rosenblatt traces the evolution of the words "liberal" and
"liberalism," revealing the heated debates that have taken place
over their meaning. She debunks the popular myth of liberalism as a
uniquely Anglo-American tradition, and shows how it was only during
the Cold War that it was refashioned into an American ideology
focused on individual freedoms. This timely and provocative book
sets the record straight on a core tenet of today's political
conversation, laying the foundations for a more constructive
discussion about the future of liberal democracy.
