Book Synopsis
In 1955, Louis Hartz offered perhaps the most famous interpretation of American history of the second half of the twentieth century in his book ""The Liberal Tradition in America"". This book considers whether Hartz's analysis should be repudiated or updated and whether a study of America as a 'liberal society' is still a rewarding undertaking.

Trade Review
"A substantial contribution that ably assesses where things stand more than fifty years after the publication of Hartz's provocative reading of American history in The Liberal Tradition in America. Whatever its standing today, its impact was undeniably huge in its own day and its reassessment by Hulliung and his contributors is long overdue." Michael P. Zuckert, author of Launching Liberalism"
