As Ronald Reagan declared, the conservative banner is one of bold,
unmistakable colors, not ""pastel shades."" Since World War II, the
American conservative movement has changed the colors of the
national political landscape. Here, in its own words, is the body
of thought and rhetoric that has painted the movement's banner.
Award-winning authors Peter Schweizer and Wynton C. Hall have
gathered an authoritative collection of speeches representing the
modern conservative movement. Beginning with Whittaker Chambers'
1948 testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee
and continuing through the speeches of such conservative icons as
Barry Goldwater, Bill Buckley, Phyllis Schlafly, Ronald Reagan, and
Barbara Bush, the editors assemble an all-star line-up of
conservative thought. The thirteen speeches in this volume
powerfully capture the principles, images, and causes that
constitute modern American conservatism. Drawing on such thinkers
as Russell Kirk and Richard M. Weaver, Schweizer and Hall vividly
illustrate the ideas that have moved the conservative movement from
the margins of society to the citadels of power. An introduction to
each speech explains the context in which it was first delivered
and notes the impact of each statement on the movement and the
nation. The perfect gift for those who value conservativism or seek
to understand it, ""Landmark Speeches of the American Conservative
Movement"" offers food for thought and action. For historians,
political scientists, and students of public communication, the
book is an essential source for the ideas that have shaped American
society since 1945.
