"A marvelous work of historical scholarship and political analysis. H. W. Brands has a keen eye for the telling quote and arresting story. His argument, that the Cold War breathed life into liberalism and the Cold War's end killed it off, is bound to engage and challenge readers across disciplines and the entire political spectrum. This is public scholarship at its best." Robert D. Schulzinger, University of Colorado, Boulder "H. W. Brands has once again written a lucid, brisk, accessible, incisively argued book with laser-like focus on a major historical question involving America's recent past: 'what killed liberalism?' Michael Sherry, author of In the Shadow of War "An engaging and judiciously researched book. It offers a compelling historical explanation for the current state of political discourse in America." Douglas Brinkley, director, Eisenhower Center for American Studies at the University of New Orleans
