The “S” Word: A Short History of an American Tradition…Socialism

One does not need to be a socialist to understand that socialism has been a part of this country's journey from the start. This book is an unapologetic retort to the return of red-baiting in American political life—conclusively demonstrating that US socialism has a long, proud history, encompassing not only the moral vision of Eugene V. Debs, but also the voices of Tom Paine, Horace Greeley, Helen Keller and others.

“A chilling reminder of how much rich American history has been erased by shallow messaging. A crucial book.” – Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine and No Logo
