Shows how a small New York group, predominantly Jewish, moved from communist and socialist roots to become a primary voice of liberal humanism and, in the case of a few, to launch a new conservative movement. This book concentrates on Lionel Trilling as the paradigmatic liberal intellectual and also includes reconsiderations of Irving Howe.
