Up From Liberalism

Focusing on American Liberalism in the 1950s, Buckley presents a provocative critique of its leading figures, arguing that their speeches reveal deep-seated social and philosophical prejudices. Through a thorough examination of the underlying assumptions of the era's Liberalism, he challenges readers to consider whether the actions of prominent liberals stem from the very nature of Liberalism itself. This work delves into the complexities and contradictions of political thought during a pivotal time in American history.
