As American conservatism stands at a crossroads, Andrew Bacevich presents a groundbreaking collection of mainstream conservative writings since 1900, redefining a tradition whose ideas, debates, and defiance have profoundly shaped our national life.
Andrew J. Bacevich, editor, grew up in Indiana, graduated from West Point and Princeton, served in the army, became an academic, and is now a writer. He is the author, co-author, or editor of more than a dozen books, among them The New American Militarism, The Limits of Power, Washington Rules, America's War for the Greater Middle East, and Age of Illusions- America after the Cold War.
One of "7 Books to Watch for in April" in The New York Times
"A valuable collection. . . . Bacevich is not looking for
agreement — this is neither an evangelistic credo nor a sort
of Conservatism for Dummies. Rather, it is a collection of
diverse thinkers generally inclined toward the causes of order and
tradition, and the best articles have a solidity that can seem a
bracing tonic for the present chaos." —Tim Page, The
Washington Post
"A rich menu. . . . Bacevich’s selections evidence that
conservative anxiety about the cultural consequences of modernity
has a distinguished American pedigree."
—George F. Will, The New York Times Book Review
"Eloquent. . . . A collection of essays and speeches—mostly
from the 20th century—that argue tacitly that today’s conservatism
needs an intellectual reboot." —Kirkus Reviews
