The Other American by Maurice Isserman
The Life of Michael Harrington
A compact intellectual and political biography of Michael Harrington that traces his journey from working‑class roots and early leftist engagements to his emergence as a prominent public intellectual who exposed persistent poverty in postwar America; the book follows his influential writing and campaigning that pushed poverty onto the national agenda, his fraught relationships with Communist orthodoxy and the New Left, and his efforts to remake democratic‑socialist politics, concluding with an assessment of his complex legacy as both a force for social reform and a controversial figure on the American left.
