Recenzje

 "Mr. Madison writes earnestly and clearly... of his eighteen heroes and heroines. [H]e has immersed himself in their writings and has gone to the right monographs and biographies for his background material... [A] useful and timely collection of popular sketches, emphasizing an important strand in our national culture." --Frederick B. Tolles, American Literature "[Mr. Madison] writes with enthusiasm and at times with eloquence about a representative collection of American radicals all of whom, despite great diversity, obviously excite his admiration and sympathy." --Paul M. Sweezy, The American Economic Review "[A]long with the ably done portraits and the many heartening examples of self-sacrificing courage, the feeling this book gives of the immediacy and urgency of the long fight to preserve human freedom furnishes ample justification for Mr. Madison's method." --Townsend Scudder, The American Historical Review "Every one of the eighteen portraits is a brief but well-rounded study." --Albert Guerard, The Nation "This volume is an excellent effort to provide briefly but accurately both the highlights and the atmosphere of the careers of 18 American luminaries in the area of independent thought and progressive action." --Robert S. Browne, Phylon
