Henry Steele Commager
Eugene McCarthy more or less embodied anti-war, socialistic American liberalism in 1968. He came close to winning the New Hampshire primary, was a significant factor in L.B.J.'s decision not to run again, and inspired a generation to political idealism. Then he was gone, and pretty much forgotten. British historian Dominic Sandbrook uses this as a metaphor for late 1960's American liberalism. In Eugene McCarthy's rise and fall Sandbrook finds the perfect metaphor for the real subject of his book: the American Left. A timely book, given that it is about the failure of liberalism in a time when it should have thrived.
