Book Synopsis Liberalism in the Shadow of Totalitarianism by : David Ciepley
Book excerpt: This book argues that it was primarily the encounter with totalitarianism that dissolved the ideals of American progressivism and crystallized the ideals of postwar liberalism. In politics, the ideal of governance by a strong, independent executive was rejected and a politics of contending interest groups was embraced.
