The New Republic

?More than a history of a magazine whose collegium included Walter Lippmann, Edmund Wilson and Malcom Cowley, Mr. Seideman's lucid and often lively account culls from the soul of the publication--its editorials--in an effort to reconstruct its particular brand of liberalism.... Mr. Seideman deserves credit for his consistently candid and critical approach, especially in view of the balancing act he had to perform, since he was an employee of the magazine when he wrote the book.?-The New York Times Book Review
