Is a book written in the 1950's called The Liberal Tradition in America by Louis Hartz. For a scholarly work it's a page turner. On another note if you all can find it on C-SPAN the conservative Young American's Foundation event suggesting what books that young conservatives should read was pathetic and scary at the same time. It aired 8/5/05. We should activate an Open thread on the books we think young people should actually read.
