Redefining our traditional understanding of the New Deal, Fear
Itself finally examines this pivotal American era through a
sweeping international lens that juxtaposes a struggling democracy
with enticing ideologies like Fascism and Communism. Ira
Katznelson, "a towering figure in the study of American and
European history" (Cornel West), boldly asserts that, during the
1930s and 1940s, American democracy was rescued yet distorted by a
unified band of southern lawmakers who safeguarded racial
segregation as they built a new national state to manage capitalism
and assert global power. This original study brings to vivid life
the politicians and pundits of the time, including Walter Lippmann,
who argued that America needed a dose of dictatorship;
Mississippi's five-foot-two Senator Theodore Bilbo, who advocated
the legal separation of races; and Robert Oppenheimer, who built
the atomic bomb yet was tragically undone by the nation's hysteria.
Fear Itself is a necessary work, vital to understanding our world-a
world the New Deal first made.
