Rezensionen

Illuminating . . . Torch-bearing marchers with an agenda summon up uncomfortable memories of Berlin in 1933 and Charlottesville in 2017. But Mr. Grinspan's excellent book makes us realize that public zeal in support of a worthy cause can have positive results—in this case, the election of America's greatest president.
