In this book, he focuses on the late Michael Harrington, "America's foremost democratic socialist." The book is highly successful in giving us a look at Harrington the man, although anyone interested in a history of the democratic socialist movement may be somewhat disappointed. Isserman fills many gaps in Harringon's two semi-autobiographical books. While not completely impartial (Isserman was a member of Harrington's Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, and clearly likes his subject), the author neither fawns nor engages in iconography. Taken together with Robert Gorman's book, and Harrington's own work, Isserman's biography is as comprehensive a picture of Harrington as I suspect we're likely to get anytime soon. Highly recommended.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Pragmatism or PrincipleBy P. J. SullivanThis is the story of Michael Harrington's struggle for relevance. He left the Catholic Worker in search of power to effect social change. A democratic socialist committed to improving the lot of the poor, he had to walk a tightrope between pragmatism and principle. Without selling out his socialist principles, he had to make forays into the Democratic Party, with mixed results. Democratic socialism, he said, was "the left wing of the possible." It was humanist, anti-Stalinist, anti-war, and in the tradition of Eugene V. Debs.He never held a position of real power, so his books and articles are his chief legacies. They were influential in nudging Democrats to the left, thus effecting social programs like the War on Poverty that made a difference in the lives of many people. TIME magazine called his book "The Other America" one of the ten most important nonfiction books of the twentieth century.This book is a thorough and well documented portrayal of his many ideological and personal changes--at one time he called himself a Republican!--and his faction fighting within the Left. It is occasionally critical of him, but fair and objective. There is a lot of history here, and a lot of politics. Some philosophy. Plus interesting insights into other prominent people, such as Tom Hayden, Norman Thomas, Dorothy Day, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Bayard Rustin, Max Shachtman, Irving Howe, William F. Buckley, and George Meany.20 of 20 people found the following review helpful.Thoughtful Look At Socialist Activist Michael HarringtonBy Barron LaycockAnyone familiar with the tortured history of American socialism can appreciate this fine and pensive biography of one of its leading 20th century luminaries, fabled socialist and humanist author Michael Harrington. Noted historian Maurice Isserman ("America Divided"-see my review) delivers a wonderful account that passionately and comprehensively covers the long and eventful arc of Harrington's amazingly productive and prolific writing and academic careers as well as his exhaustive involvements in socialist politics and social activism. A stream of notables ranging from folksingers Peter, Paul and Mary, SDS's Tom Hayden, intellectuals like Irving Howe, and political figures like George Meany rub shoulders with Harrington, and we come to see his personal intellectual and political journey toward a better and fairer America as one with which we can each take common cause.Educated in Massachusetts at Holy Cross, Harrington adopted the Jesuit perspective of enlightened social engagement early, and soon found himself rejecting his own comfortable middle class background to work among the urban poor. According to Isserman, it was inevitable for Harrington to act on his own antipathy to the gross materialism that surrounded him, and to extend this distaste for those living in luxury amid the squalor that surrounded them to his own philosophy and politics. Indeed, his own intellectual and philosophical journey provides the reader with a splendid portrait of the nature of American socialism in the middle of this century, and we find ourselves delving into remote nooks and crannies of the movement as Harrington makes his philosophical odyssey toward his own mature view of an open and democratically based contemporary socialism.Along the way we learn a lot of important details about socialism as well as about how politics works in America. One at times becomes a bit winded at Harrington's sheer level of energy and capacity for work, for he sometimes seems to be everywhere doing everything at once. And it is this frenetic pace and sheer level of productive energy that one comes to admire in Harrington. In this day of self-satisfied torpor and delirium tremors from over-consumption, it is interesting to read about a man whose life was centered so energetically and so passionately around moral imperatives and ideas. Whether discussing his failure to successfully meld his old-style moral socialism with the new-left politics of young mavericks like Tom Hayden or his failure to actively engage the American Socialist Party in the debate over the war in Vietnam, Isserman brings Harrington and his times to vibrant life in these pages.Of course, it was the publication of his overwhelmingly successful and influential book, "The Other America" that made Harrington a permanent fixture on the American scene, and everyone from John F. Kennedy to Bill Clinton have made reference to the importance of the book in forming their own perspectives regarding poverty in America. My recommendation is to first read "The Other America", because it is such a historical book both in terms of its content as well as in its effect on social policy for the last half of the 20th century. Then read this wonderful biography to understand the complex and troubling life of its author, one of the 20th century's most misunderstood and yet ultimately influential intellectuals.
