"All the greats--Buckley, Hayek, Kirk, Friedman, Reagan--are
represented in the fine anthology edited by Gregory L. Schneider,
and the gloves occasionally come off"
--"National Review"
"An ambitious book, chock-full of the learned and provocative
writing that characterized the opposition party all throughout the
strife-torn 20th century. It is brutally honest about the
movement's current predicament."
--"The American Conservative"
"Liberals and conservatives alike should have no trouble
endorsing this anthology from 70 years of the conservative movement
in the United States."--"Library Journal"
While there have long been libertarians, agrarians,
individualists, collectivists, nationalists, and others who fit the
contemporary label of "conservative," no cohesive conservative
movement existed prior to World War II. How, then, did conservatism
develop into such a powerful American political force?
Tracing the history of conservatism from the concerns and ideas
of the Old Right, through the Cold War, the "Gingrich revolution,"
and into the present, Conservatism in America Since 1930 gathers a
wide range of conservative writings and documents showcasing the
development and protean character of the modern conservative
intellectual and political movement.
The book includes essays from Russell Kirk, Milton Friedman,
F.A. Hayek, William F. Buckley, Jr., Ronald Reagan, and Pat
Buchanan, among others, and highlights key debates between the
movement's factions. Along with essays by these canonical
conservative figures, the volume also contains excerpts from
sources less frequently cited, such as the Twelve Southerners
andSeward Collins, as well as documents from conservative
organizations and journals. The primary documents are supplemented
by introductions which set the historical context and offer
illuminating commentary on how conservatism shifted identity over
the course of modern American history.
