Abstract
I opened Daniel Geary’s Radical Ambition with little prior knowledge of C. Wright Mills. I curiously read his “Letter to the New Left” but stopped there. As I put Mills to the side, he kept reappearing in the autobiographical accounts of 1960s radicals, held as heroic example and canonical reference. Geary’s book would remedy my neglect for that genial American public intellectual.
