'Young Radicals' follows progressives' pursuit of ideals into World War I: Book Review, Part 2: The most fascinating part of Jeremy McCarter's book comes when the U.S. enters the war, and the young radicals face a dangerous new world.
MGB: Debbs, though a bit older, spent the war in prison for resisting it. That should be worth a chapter. Most radicals owe their position to the shoulders they stood on. Suffragette's stand on Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and fellow prohibitionist Margaret Esther Brown Allen - my great-grandmother. Now that's a story. Cooperativists, stand on Maggie's husband, Silas Locke Allen, who has as much to do with that movement as Leo XIII, if not more so.
