Living History: A Citizen's Duty in America's New Age of Unreason

Susan Jacoby specializes in the history of atheism, secularism, and religious liberty. Her best known books include Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism, hailed in The New York Times as an “ardent and insightful work” that “seeks to rescue a proud tradition from the indifference of posterity” and The Age of American Unreason, a New York Times bestseller praised by Richard Dawkins as a “luminously clear” work in which the author “reaches out to welcome all who would share in her elevated vision of the way our culture could be—and is not.” Her 2000 memoir is titled HalfJew: A Daughter’s Search for her Family’s Buried Past”.
