Today marks the release of Mona Charen’s new book on The Left. With this new one and her first book, Useful Idiots, she does the thankless work of chronicling the failures of Left-wingers who talk a good talk but don’t deliver and do harm. In Useful Idiots she focused on Cold War characters, in Do-Gooders she takes on, essentially, all of the domestic conventional wisdom of the day (Sixtiesish on).

What I love about Mona is she packs in facts and figures in a very accessible way—the markings of a bestseller. We’d all be better off if it becomes one.

We have a Q&A up here today on Do-Gooders.
