Book SynopsisOffers a sweeping overview of political insurgency in the United States from the 1880s onwards.

Trade Review"As a study of modern American political culture,
Beyond Left and Right gets high marks. This is an extremely readable book. It should quickly become a basic source, especially beneficial to scholars who are researching modern American political history. Lay readers with an interest in American politics should find it informative and accessible. Horowitz explains his ideas in clear direct prose, free of jargon." -- LeRoy Ashby, author of
