Liberalism against Itself: Cold War Intellectuals and the Making of Our Times

The pitch of the book seemed interesting: analyzing the failures of liberalism in the late twentieth century. However, the book doesn't actually do that. Instead, it ends up being a literature review of five writers who I've never heard of and have no context. I've never read Judith Shklar, and so had a tough time following.
The author of the book writes a lot about "cold war liberalism" but doesn't define it nor does a good job comparing it to other forms of liberalism.
If you're someone who has read all five authors mentioned in the book, you might be able to follow. If you haven't, you'll be confused. However, if you've already read all five authors then you probably don't need this last book to tell you what to think.
