Where do we find our ideals? What does it mean to live for them--and to risk dying for them? For Americans during World War I, these weren't abstract questions. Young Radicals tells the story of five activists, intellectuals and troublemakers who agitated for freedom and equality in the hopeful years before the war, then fought to defend those values in a country pitching into violence and chaos. Based on six years of extensive archival research, Jeremy McCarter's dramatic narrative brings to life the exploits of Randolph Bourne, the bold social critic who strove for a dream of America that was decades ahead of its time; Max Eastman, the charismatic poet-propagandist of Greenwich Village, whose magazine The Masses fought the government for the right to oppose the war; Walter Lippmann, a boy wonder of socialism who forged a new path to seize new opportunities; Alice Paul, a suffragist leader who risked everything to win women the right to vote; and John Reed, the swashbuckling journalist and impresario who was an eyewitness to--and a key player in--the Russian Revolution. Each of these figures sensed a moment of unprecedented promise for American life--politically, socially, culturally--and struggled to bring it about, only to see a cataclysmic war and reactionary fervor sweep it away. A century later, we are still fighting for the ideals these five championed: peace, women's rights, economic equality, freedom of speech--all aspects of a vibrant American democracy. The story of their struggles brings new light and fresh inspiration to our own"--|cProvided by publisher. 520 "What does it mean to live for your ideals ... and to risk dying for them? This book tells the story of young American radicals who sensed a moment of unprecedented promise for American life--politically, socially, culturally--and struggled to bring it about, only to see a cataclysmic war sweep it away. Based on six years of extensive archival research, Jeremy McCarter's dramatic narrative brings to life the adventures of Randolph Bourne, a cerebral hunchbacked writer, Max Eastman, an activist editor, Walter Lippmann, a slippery political operative, Alice Paul, a trailblazing suffragette, and John Reed, a Communist journalist. It evokes the America they fought to create in the early 20th century, one that young radicals are still fighting to create in the 21st, through movements such as Occupy and Black Lives Matter"-- |cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Bourne, Randolph Silliman,|d1886-1918. 600 10 Eastman, Max,|d1883-1969. 600 10 Lippmann, Walter,|d1889-1974. 600 10 Paul, Alice,|d1885-1977. 600 10 Reed, John,|d1887-1920. 600 17 Bourne, Randolph Silliman,|d1886-1918.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00014469 600 17 Eastman, Max,|d1883-1969.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00008047 600 17 Lippmann, Walter,|d1889-1974.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00050393 600 17 Paul, Alice,|d1885-1977.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00171361 600 17 Reed, John,|d1887-1920.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00076470 611 27 World War (1914-1918)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01180746 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Radicals|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Political activists|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Idealism, American|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 World War, 1914-1918|xSocial aspects|zUnited States. 650 7 HISTORY|xModern|x20th Century.|2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY|xCultural Heritage.|2bisacsh 650 7 Idealism, American.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00966839 650 7 Political activists.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01069192 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 Radicals.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01087037 650 7 Social aspects.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01354981 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y1901-1953. 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 914 MID.b25222533 914 FARM245625 994 92|bCKE
