This concise history focuses on the development of American
conservatism in the twentieth century up to the present. Gregory L.
Schneider traces the course of a once-reactionary movement opposed
to progressive reform and the New Deal and describes how it came to
advance alternative policies and programs that revolutionized the
shaping of domestic politics, foreign policy, and economic policy.
Along the way he profiles such influential thinkers as William F.
Buckley, Frank Meyer, Henry Regnery, and Barry Goldwater. He also
details how the decline of liberalism after the 1960s helped
conservatives gain political power, and how their energized
activism and organization culminated in the election of Ronald
Reagan in 1980. Schneider also describes how the years since the
Reagan Revolution have been decidedly mixed for American
conservatives.
