Leo Strauss was a political philosopher who died in 1973 but
came to came to prominent attention in the United States and also
Britain around the beginning of the War in Iraq. Charges began
emerging that architects of the war such as Paul Wolfowitz and
large numbers of staff in the US State and Defense Departments had
studied with, or been influenced by, the academic work of Strauss
and his followers. A vague, but powerful, idea was generated in the
popular press that a group known as the Straussians had been
instrumental in the long-range strategic planning of American
foreign policy, both to advance American interests and to encourage
democratic revolutions outside the "West."
This volume of essays opens up the topic of Leo Strauss and the
Straussians to those outside the relatively narrow circles who have
been concerned with him and his followers up to now.
