The Democrats: A Critical History

From Haymarket Books:

After eight long years of George W. Bush, millions are counting the days to the inauguration of a Democratic president. But will a Democrat in the White House and a Democratic congress deliver on the changes so many want to see?

In this powerful challenge from the Left, Lance Selfa argues that skepticism is in order. Offering a broad historical perspective, Selfa shows how the Democratic Party has time and again betrayed the aspirations of ordinary people while pursuing an agenda favorable to Wall Street and U.S. imperial ambitions.
