Synopsis

These essays offer journalist and Senator Richard Neuberger's vision of mid-century American politics. Among the foremost journalists of his time, Neuberger's byline was identified with the politics and social trends, the mountains and forests of the Pacific Northwest for more than a generation. From his eyewitness account of Hitler's "new Germany" in 1933 through his own rise to political prominence in the fifties, this collection of essays represents the full range of his writing.

About this title

From Library Journal:

This fine collection of 34 magazine articles by the late Oregon writer and senator offers an ample sampling of his liberal political beliefs. His pieces range from the chilling "The New Germany" ( The Nation , October 4, 1933) to the rousing "In Defense of the Politician" ( New York Times Magazine , November 2, 1958). He died in 1960, less than a year after he published, "When I Learned I Had Cancer" ( Harper's , June 1959). He used his writing prowess to political advantage in articles such as "The Senator Behind the Give-aways" ( The Progressive , February 1954). Of appeal to a wide audience, including political enthusiasts and media ethicists. Jo Cates, Poynter Inst. for Media Studies Lib., St. Petersburg, Fla.
