Far more than simple political commentary, The Last Innocent White Man
in America is a passionate marriage of politics and literature that
transcends the daily headlines to get at how we imagine ourselves in
history. John Leonard is an unrepentant liberal, dissident, scourge, and
media critic par excellence. Whether he's writing about bankers or AIDS,
Congress or television, Salman Rushdie or Ed Koch, Leonard will make you
stop, think, and laugh.
