The Good Fight: Why Liberals – and Only Liberals – Can Win the War on Terror and Make America Great Again, by Peter Beinart (Harper Collins, 304 pp., $25.95)

In an age of hyper-partisan book marketing, a title can be just a way to attract buyers. So at first I didn’t take the subtitle of Peter Beinart’s new book at face value: “Why Liberals – and Only Liberals – Can Win the War on Terror and Make America Great Again.” I figured it was a way to make a book mostly devoted to chastising the Left for not taking the War on Terror seriously enough more palatable for liberal readers. I was wrong; Beinart really means it.
