Simona Maria Vrabiescu Kleckner's book is an indictment of the American left and an overview of its impact on American political life. Many have interpreted the author's pessimistic tone as a warning signal. The analysis of this part of American history highlights a well-known historical fact: states and peoples evolve. The America of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, even of the 1990s is no longer the America of today, due to the profound transformations it underwent in the last half-century.
