It brings a new perspective on aspects of the socialist movement that sheds light on some of the reasons for its failure."--Seymour Martin Lipset "Many books add to our fund of historical knowledge. Few recast our historical understanding. Authoritarian Socialism in America is one of those rare books. . . No one will leave this passionately argued book with unshaken faith in the Progressive equation of reform and democracy. Lipow's book is a revelation."--David Brody
