Dorothy Wickenden, who managed The New Republic for years, gathers the magazine's finest work into one volume. She draws from decades of political writing and commentary that shaped American liberal thought. The collection features pieces by major political figures and statesmen who wrote for the magazine throughout the twentieth century. Wickenden arranges these selections to trace how liberal ideas developed and changed over time. The anthology shows readers how one magazine influenced American political discourse. It captures the evolution of modern liberalism through the voices of those who helped create it.
