>About The Book:  The Guardians: Kingman Brewster, His Circle, and the Rise 
>of the Liberal Establishment by Geoffrey Kabaservice begins with a 
>description of the events of May Day 1970 in New Haven and at Yale and 
>then flashes back to chronicle the rise and fall of a powerful group of 
>friends and how together they shaped liberalism.  Yale President Kingman 
>Brewster s circle of friends included McGeorge Bundy, Elliot Richardson, 
>John Lindsay, Archbishop Paul Moore, and Cyrus Vance.  These men educated 
>at the same private schools and belonging to the same country clubs as 
>many others separated themselves early by challenging the nation s 
>operating system.  Looking at the very social order that had put them in 
>power, they sought to modernize and improve it.  They believed that they 
>could overcome the flaws and prejudices of their fathers generation while 
>retaining the traditions of that same white Anglo-Saxon Protestant 
>elite.  Once they were in positions of power, they did just 
>that.  Brewster and his friends led their institutions and the nation in 
>establishing a system based on merit rather than aristocracy.  They helped 
>us to define liberalism and in doing so created a legacy that still 
>survives today.  Engaging, lively, and meticulously researched, The 
>Guardians reclaims the importance of Brewster and his generation and 
>illuminates their place in American history.
