Synopsis
A few months before the 2010 midterms, Newt Gingrich described the socialist infiltration of American government and media as “even more disturbing than the threats from foreign terrorists.” John Nichols offers an unapologetic retort to the return of red-baiting in American political life—arguing that socialism has a long, proud, American history. Tom Paine was enamored of early socialists, Horace Greeley employed Karl Marx as a correspondent, and Helen Keller was an avowed socialist. The “S” Word gives Americans back a crucial aspect of their past and makes a forthright case for socialist ideas today.

Review
“A chilling reminder of how much rich American history has been erased by shallow messaging. A crucial book.”
—Naomi Klein
“Of all the giant slayers now afoot in the great American desert, John Nichols’s sword is the sharpest, his footwork the most graceful, his brain the most cunning.”
—Gore Vidal
“The Tom Paine ... of our time.”
—Bill Moyers
“[A] search for the legacy of our homegrown radicals.”
—Washington Post
