Young Radicals: In the War for American Ideals

Young Radicals is a gripping narrative that brings to life the stories of five American activists who fought for freedom and equality in the hopeful years before World War I, then risked everything to defend those values in a country pitching into violence and chaos.

Based on six years of extensive archival research, Jeremy McCarter's dramatic narrative sheds light on the exploits of Randolph Bourne, Max Eastman, Walter Lippmann, Alice Paul, and John Reed - each of whom sensed a moment of unprecedented promise for American life and struggled to bring it about.

With vivid details and compelling characters, Young Radicals is an inspiring and entertaining read that will captivate anyone interested in American history, politics, or social justice.
