Liberalism : the Life of an Idea

Edmund Fawcett

In this engrossing history of liberalism, veteran political observer Edmund Fawcett traces its ideals, successes, and failures through the lives and ideas of a rich cast of European/American thinkers and politicians. An enlightening account of a vulnerable but critically important political creed, Liberalism will be a revelation for readers who think they already know—for good or ill—what liberalism is.
