Death of the Liberal Class

“Hedges is a fine writer. And the outrage that fairly pours off the pages of his book gives it punch and gusto.” –Winnipeg Free Press
“Hedges is an engaging writer, and his passion alone makes for a compelling read… . Offers those of us who dare to refer to ourselves as liberal a lot to think about.” –Harvard Political Review
“Hedges raises some critical points that are as convincing as they are depressing. It’s an important little book for anyone who is concerned with the current state of the Democratic Party and liberalism in general.” –HuffPost
“This is a thoughtful analysis of why and how liberals have compromised principles due to the allure of power and wealth.” –Booklist
“Uncompromising… . Hedges indicts the press, the Church, the arts, labor unions, universities, and the Democratic Party for failing to protect the middle and lower classes from the depredations of corporations.” –The New Yorker
“While every page erupts with calamities of the human spirit worthy of their own irate broadcasts and bull-horned fury, Hedges is at his best when he unpacks the density of his polemic and embraces the power of his narrative… . These insights come not just as warning, but as witness.” –Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
