"Fighting Years, Memoirs of a Liberal Editor is a biography of Oswald Garrison Villard. Written by his soon, Oswald Garrison Villard Jr, the story follows the life of Villard from his time first arriving in New York in the 1860s as a young man up to the end of his life in the 1920s. The account focuses heavily on Villard's career and impact as an editor, following his movement from one journalistic organization to another. Alongside this, there is a focus on the political beliefs and actions of Villard, especially his advocacy for liberal policies and editorial pieces. The piece combines an academic analysis with the intimacy of a family member." -- from the cataloger
