Paul Lawrence Berman  is a writer on politics and literature whose articles and reviews have appeared in numerous influential publications. His admirers liken his cosmopolitan style to that of the so-called New York Intellectuals of the mid-twentieth century, whose conversation-shaping essays on big topics came out in the little magazines of the day.
His books—published in fifteen languages—include Terror and Liberalism (a New York Times best-seller in 2003), The Flight of the Intellectuals, A Tale of Two Utopias, Power and the Idealists, and an illustrated children's book, Make-Believe Empire. He edited, among other anthologies, Carl Sandburg: Selected Poems, for the American Poets Project of the Library of America.
Berman is a contributing editor of The New Republic and a member of the editorial board of Dissent.
