Reviews for The Tolerant Populists
"Often misrepresented and misunderstood, its very name stolen and twisted by movements hostile to the progressive reforms it fore-shadowed, American Populism deserved the penetrating corrective report contained in Walter Nugent's book of fifty years ago. For readers in today's threatened democracy, this anniversary reissue is more timely than ever." (Bernard Weisberger, author of America Afire)"
