This anthology provides a timely critical overview of the American
conservative movement. The contributors take on subjects that other
commentators have either not noticed or have been fearful to
discuss. In particular, this collection of searing essays hits hard
at blatant cult of celebrity and intolerance of dissent that has
come to characterize the conservative movement in this country. As
The Vanishing Tradition shows, the conservative movement has not
often retrieved its wounded, instead dispatching them in order to
please its friendly opposition and to prove its "moderateness." The
movement has also been open to the influence of demanding sponsors
who have pushed it in sometimes bizarre directions. Finally, the
essayists here, highlight the movement's appeal to "permanent
values" as a truly risible gesture, given how arduously its
celebrities have worked to catch up with the Left on social issues.
This no-holds-barred critical examination of American conservatism
opens debates and seeks controversy.
