H. L. Mencken Revisited

Twayne Publishers * 1998 * 195 pages * $35.00

Henry Louis Mencken is known to many lovers of freedom as a sharp-tongued satirist who lampooned politicians, crusading moralists, overstuffed intellectuals, and anyone else he thought was a public menace. He is well appreciated for his acidic barbs (FDR, for example, was "King Roosevelt II"), but most people who think well of Mencken do so just because he disliked big government and its champions. Not many are familiar with his life and career as a journalist.
