Packer's father was a Kennedy-era liberal, a law professor and dean at Stanford whose convictions were sorely--and ultimately fatally--tested in the campus upheavals of the 1960s. The inheritor of two sometimes conflicting strains of the great American liberal tradition, Packer discusses the testing of ideals in the lives of his father and grandfather and his own struggle to understand the place of the progressive tradition in our currently polarized political climate. Searching, engrossing, and persuasive, \u003ci\u003eBlood of the Liberals\u003c\/i\u003e is an original, intimate examination of the meaning of politics in American lives.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGEORGE PACKER\u003c\/b\u003e is a staff writer at \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic \u003c\/i\u003eand the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq\u003c\/i\u003e, which received several prizes and was named one of the ten best books of 2005 by \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e.
