What's Left? How the Liberals Lost their Way.

Oliver Kamm reviews Nick Cohen's new book.

Nick Cohen has written a new book. It's called What's Left? How the Liberals Lost their Way. It will be published in February. I have read it; it's excellent, and you should pre-order it now. The book dissects the oddity - and the scandal - of how segments of the Left, in their willingness to discern progressive qualities in the most reactionary causes, went over to the other side of the political divide. The subject is serious, but the personalities and opinions are often laughable, and there is much wit as well as eloquence in Nick's account.
