Robert A. Taft has been neglected by some historians and political
theorists and vilified by others. Vigorously and impartially
written, this book analyzes the ideas and influence of a great U.S.
senator of the twentieth century. Here readers will find a close
and lively examination of Taft's convictions on freedom, justice,
labor policy, social reform, foreign affairs, and the
responsibilities of political parties. Respected for his
intelligence and integrity, Robert Taft was considered the most
remarkable public man of a turbulent political era. He was strong
and candid, yet was repeatedly denied executive power. Despite
this, he will undoubtedly be long remembered. Drawing on many
contemporary sources, including the Taft Papers in the Library of
Congress, Kirk and Mc- Clellan set Taft in historical perspective.
Taft's enduring significance to a normative theory of politics is
made clear in this careful study, which includes extensive
quotations from his outstanding speeches and writings. Available in
paperback for the first time, this edition includes a new
introduction by Jeffrey Nelson, who has been closely associated
with Russell Kirk.
