The Progressive Revolution

"Using history as his canvas, Mike Lux illustrates how the progressive movement has made America a far better place, and how the conservatives who have opposed progressive change every step of the way have set our country back time and time again. Passionate and personal, The Progressive Revolution is as inspiring as it is informative."
-Arianna Huffington, founder, HuffingtonPost.com, and bestselling author

"I think the world of Mike Lux, and think he may be one of the best organizers and thinkers we've ever seen in progressive politics and the progressive movement."
-Tom Daschle, former Senate Majority Leader

"If you're a progressive like me, you'll love Mike Lux's book. He combines a historian's sweep with a blogger's punch. His book is essential reading for all of us who believe in progressive change."
-Paul Begala, former counselor to President Bill Clinton, Democratic strategist

"A history of the ongoing battle between those who have fought for equal rights and the common good vs. those who have defended slavery, Jim Crow, and all manner of bad things in the name of preserving tradition is crucial for people to understand. Mike Lux has been a leader in the fight for progressive causes for a long time now, and he tells an important story about the nature of politics in America."
-Donna Brazile, Gore 2000 campaign manager, Democratic strategist

"Mike is unique in being able to bridge the inside and outside in politics. He was the very first insider to notice MoveOn, just days after our first petition in 1998, and really helped us get our footing. And he's helped countless times since. Mike is that rarest breed: a populist insider. He brings that perspective to The Progressive Revolution, telling the great story of how progressives have given us a better America."
-Wes Boyd, cofounder, MoveOn.org

"As a seasoned political practitioner with a keen grasp of American history, Mike Lux brings a special perspective to the task of defining the progressive challenge today. He finds the answers in the story of America's progress, which he tells with great care, insight, and originality."
-David Brock, founder, Media Matters for America

"Mike Lux gets what so many others in professional politics don't: that being a good progressive has always been good politics. The fact that he has survived--and thrived--for so long in campaigns and elections is a testament not just to his personal perseverance, but to the power of a progressive message."
-David Sirota, bestselling author of "The Uprising"
