    In this fresh and revealing biography of Bernstein's political life, Barry Seldes examines Bernstein's career against the backdrop of cold war America--blacklisting by the State Department and voluntary exile from the New York Philharmonic in the early 50s--and the factors that by the mid-50s allowed his triumphant return. Seldes for the first time links Bernstein's great musical-theatrical achievements and his real and perceived artistic setbacks to his involvement with progressive political causes. Includes brunch.
