<DIV><DIV><b>A masterful novel of political progressives making their way&mdash;and not&mdash;in an ever-changing postwar America<BR></b></div><DIV><BR>For Marty Dworkin and his band of young Trotskyist dreamers in Buffalo, New York, the vision of a just, socialist world crumbles with the rise of Stalin and the chaos of World War II. In the two decades that follow, Dworkin and his idealistic colleagues strive to establish a new political party and battle through unexpected trials with family, work, aging, and the changing world.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>They run up against an increasingly conservative America and a thriving materialism directly opposed to their own fervent beliefs. They emerge humbled, but still hopeful, into the 1960s, when civil rights struggles and anti-war radicalism move to center stage.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><i>Standing Fast</i> is a classic, panoramic portrait of life amid the shattered dreams and visionary ambitions of the American left.&#160;&#160;</div>
