Beyond Left and Right

Beyond Left and Right is a sweeping overview of political insurgency in the United States from the 1880s to the present. It is at once a stunning synthesis, drawing on a large number of scholarly works, and an ambitious and original piece of research. The book ranges over diverse individuals and groups that have attacked the established order, from the left and the right, from the Populists of the 1890s to Ross Perot and the religious right of our times, dealing along the way with noninterventionists, the Klan, monetary radicals, McCarthyites, Birchers, and Reaganites, among many others.

First sentence: The task of progressive reform, Senator Robert M. La Follette proclaimed in 1916, was to combat "the encroachment of the powerful few upon the rights of the many.
