Bacevich"Review"In this book the Professor of Applied Christianity at Union Theological Seminary bridges the split not only in his followers but in his own ideas. On the surface, his book is merely one more survey of American history, though a fresh and convincing one. But on a profounder level it is a brilliant philosophical synthesis of his social conscience with his other-worldly conscience." Publisher's noteForged during the tumultuous but triumphant postwar years when America came of age as a world power, THE IRONY OF AMERICAN HISTORY is more relevant now than ever before. Cited by politicians as diverse as Hillary Clinton and John McCain, Niebuhr’s masterpiece on the incongruity between personal ideals and political reality is both an indictment of American moral complacency and a warning against the arrogance of virtue. Impassioned, eloquent, and deeply perceptive, Niebuhr’s wisdom will cause readers to rethink their assumptions about right and wrong, war and peace.
