520    "From the co-author of the #1 New York Times bestseller 
       Hamilton : The Revolution, a stunning group portrait of 
       five American radicals fighting for their ideals as the 
       country goes mad around them. 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"--
