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>
