Good Fight

One of the most discussed essays of 2004 was Peter Beinart's "A Fighting An Argument for a New Liberalism." In the piece, the New Republic editor-at-large made an urgent case for the return to forgotten liberal That America's goodness cannot be simply asserted; it must be earned. That to be good, America does not have to pure. And that liberalism cannot define itself merely against the right but must fervently oppose totalitarianism. The Good Fight expands and updates those arguments in ways that will inspire -- or incite -- readers. A fresh take on the age of terror.
