In this powerful and provocative manifesto, a cri de coeur
for Democrats who have grown increasingly frustrated with
their party’s leaders, former senator Gary Hart takes the
Democrats to task for choosing caution and calculation in
place of moral principles. That path, Hart says, will lead
only to sorrow—for the party and for the country. The Courage of Our Convictions is Hart’s call to action—a
clear-eyed and plainspoken manifesto that urges a return to
the principles bequeathed to the party by its great
twentieth-century presidents: Franklin D. Roosevelt’s
commitment to a single national community, where no American
would be left behind; Harry S. Truman’s internationalism,
which preserved democracy after World War II and led
eventually to the defeat of communism; John F. Kennedy’s
ideal of civic duty and service to the nation; and Lyndon B.
Johnson’s insistence on equality for all our citizens. As the midterm elections approach—and with the 2008
presidential election just over the horizon—Hart speaks
directly and passionately to the many Democrats who seek a
principled change of leadership in Washington. It is the
wake-up call that so many Americans have been waiting for.
