Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. First Edition. A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2013Fear Itself deeply reconceptualizes the New Deal and raises countless provocative questions.-David Kennedy, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Freedom from Fear Redefining our traditional understanding of the New Deal, Fear Itself finally examines this pivotal American era through a sweeping international lens that juxtaposes a struggling democracy with enticing ideologies like Fascism and Communism. Ira Katznelson, a towering figure in the study of American and European history (Cornel West), boldly asserts that, during the 1930s and 1940s, American democracy was rescued yet distorted by a unified band of southern lawmakers who safeguarded racial segregation as they built a new national state to manage capitalism and assert global power. This original study brings to vivid life the politicians and pundits of the time, including Walter Lippmann, who argued that America needed a dose of dictatorship; Mississippis five-foot-two Senator Theodore Bilbo, who advocated the legal separation of races; and Robert Oppenheimer, who built the atomic bomb yet was tragically undone by the nations hysteria. Fear Itself is a necessary work, vital to understanding our world-a world the New Deal first made. 24 illustrations. Seller Inventory # DADAX0871404508
