Synopsis:
In these provocative and engaging writings, Mr. Kramer explores, in effect, the intellectual history of the cold war and its divisive impact on our politics and culture. Tracing the critical debate over communism and modernism, he surveys the writers who were in the forefront of that debate and the issues that animated their criticism and controversies. "An honest, unsparing, and often devastating analysis."―Kirkus Reviews.
About the Author: Hilton Kramer is editor of The New Criterion and author of The Age of the Avant-Garde and The Revenge of the Philistines. He is also art critic of the New York Observer.
