"Liberty Under Siege is an eloquent J'Accuse for our own time written by one of our most original and controversial, political commentators. . . . Liberty Under Siege tells the intense and dramatic story of what has happened to American politics since the Fourth of July, 1976, when we celebrated the wondrous survival and revival of our two-hundred-year-old republic. That history, Karp shows in a powerful narrative, has at its heart a fierce, vengeful political reaction against the democratic upheavals of the 1960s and early 1970s, a reaction that threatened the very nature of republican self-government" [from the dust jacket]
