"This book, by one of America's most intelligent and decent
political writers, tells liberals how the conservative movement
rose and fell, and how they could emulate its successes while
avoiding its failures."
--George Packer, author of "Blood of the Liberals" and "The
Assassins' Gate"
"No one is better than Todd Gitlin at describing the crucial
dynamic through 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 and wisdom--and happily, because of Bushism's collapse,
legitimate optimism about the future."
--Michael Tomasky, Editor, "Guardian America"
"An impassioned yet realistic plea for Democrats and liberals to
become more serious about politics. They would do well to follow
his advice."
--Alan Wolfe, Director, Boisi Center for Religion and American
Public Life, Boston College
"A brilliant and 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 and 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, and wit--how the Bush machine debased our political life
and how progressives, in alltheir variety, are struggling to build
a new majority. It is the best guide we have to America's recent
past and its possible future."
--Michael Kazin, author of "A Godly Hero: The Life of William
Jennings Bryan" and Professor of History, Georgetown University
