Known for literary criticism as well as social and political activism, Howe wrote critical biographies, a book length examination of the relation of politics to fiction, and theoretical essays on Modernism, the nature of fiction, and social Darwinism. His writing portrayed his dislike of capitalist America. He wrote many influential books throughout his career, such as Decline of the New, World of our Fathers, Politics and the Novel and his autobiography A Margin of Hope. He also wrote a biography of Leon Trotsky, who was one of his childhood heroes. Howe's exhaustive multidisciplinary history of Eastern European Jews in America, World of Our Fathers, is considered a classic of social analysis and general scholarship. Howe explores the socialist Jewish New York from which he came. He examines the dynamic of Eastern European Jews and the culture they created in America. World of our Fathers won the 1977 National Book Award in History and the National Jewish Book Award in the History category. More

New York: Avon Book Division, The Hearst Corporation, 1961. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Mass market paperback. 320 pages. Footnotes. Cover has some wear and soiling. Cover torn at the bottom of the spine. 40,000 feet of taped interviews with the men closest to Castro during and after the revolution were recorded by the author in his research for this explosive book. In this book the story of those eight years--tragic years in which the hopes and ideas of a revolution were cynically betrayed and a country was sold out to foreign domination--is finally revealed, as witnessed and lived by the men who fought with Castro in the Sierra Maestra and against him in the sellout to Communism. These are the men who made the revolution, key men in the revolutionary government, men who fought unsuccessfully to stem the rising tide of Communism. More

Robert Francis Kennedy (November 20, 1925 – June 6, 1968), sometimes referred to by the initials RFK and occasionally Bobby, was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 64th United States Attorney General from January 1961 to September 1964, and as a U.S. Senator from New York from January 1965 until his assassination in June 1968. He was, like his brothers John and Edward, a prominent member of the Democratic Party. After serving in the U.S. Naval Reserve from 1944 to 1946, Kennedy returned to at Harvard University, graduating in 1948. He received his law degree from the University of Virginia. He began his career as a lawyer at the Justice Department, but later resigned to manage his brother John's successful campaign for the U.S. Senate in 1952. The following year, he worked as an assistant counsel to the Senate committee chaired by Senator Joseph McCarthy. He gained national attention as the chief counsel of the Senate Labor Rackets Committee from 1957 to 1959, where he publicly challenged Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa over the corrupt practices of the union. He was appointed United States Attorney General after the successful election and served as his brother's closest advisor until his 1963 assassination. His tenure is best known for its advocacy for the civil rights movement, the fight against organized crime and the Mafia, and involvement in U.S. foreign policy related to Cuba. More
