This book details the left's achievements, including the welfare state, opposing militarism, reshaping of American culture, black rights and civil liberties, awakening the USA to the dangers of fascism and great public enterprises such as the late Twin Towers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The American Left provides a sweeping overview of the American leftwing and socialist tradition since the late 19th century. It compellingly argues that progressives should cease to dismiss its importance. Instead they should acknowledge its ties with and enormous influence on American progressives. It shows that the American left has made a large contribution to the American Welfare State, changes in social policy and has often been a model for left of centre movements abroad. The committee was unanimous in awarding the prize.'
