The "S" Word: A Short History of an American Tradition...Socialism

By John Nichols
"An important reminder of the invaluable strains of socialist thought throughout American political history, from fighting despotism to creating universal health care.
Socialism has become a bad word, feared equally by the left and right, for different political reasons, but mostly because people haven't read the work of Thomas Paine, Walt Whitman or Abraham Lincoln, or learned about the socialist experiments that really worked in America, such as in Milwaukee, Wisc., the author's hometown....A brief and selective but well-written and spirited study."  (Kirkus Reviews)   Check Our Catalog
