Reviews

"Superbly conceived and edited, this timely and much needed study provides a magnificent introductory essay on the variegated nature of conservatism in twentieth-century America before focusing on sixty-five conservative journals....This work belongs on the book shelves of anyone interested in American conservatism--academics, journalists, politicians, and the general public alike."-James N. Giglio Professor of History Southwest Missouri State University

"The Conservative Press in Twentieth Century America is a major enterprise in collective scholarship, pulling together in two volumes splendid capsule histories of a broad range of periodicals that express almost every variation of the conservative impulse over the past one hundred years....More than an exercise in the history of political journalism, this collection lays out as do few other works, the extraordinary diversity of American conservatism. The editors are to be congratulated both for assembling an outstanding group of contributors and for their own effective introductory essays."-Alonzo L. Hamby Professor of History Ohio University
