A Preface to Politics

The book offers a foundational exploration of political commentary by Walter Lippmann, a prominent journalist of the 20th century. It marks his initial foray into political analysis, which he later expanded through his influential work with The New Republic and his role in shaping Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points. Lippmann's insights continued to resonate through his long-running syndicated column "Today and Tomorrow," which garnered widespread readership and earned him two Pulitzer Prizes, solidifying his impact on American journalism and political thought.
