The American Liberals And The Russian Revolution by Christopher Lasch
A concise intellectual history tracing how prominent American liberal thinkers and activists responded to the Russian Revolution, arguing that their early admiration for Bolshevik energy and radical reform revealed deeper tendencies within U.S. liberalism—an impatience with messy democratic politics, faith in expert management and moral reform, and a readiness to legitimize centralized authority in pursuit of social progress—and showing how that initial enthusiasm later produced disillusionment and helped reshape the priorities and self-understanding of American progressive politics.
