In this revised and updated edition of what Insight magazine recently called "the standard work" on the history of post-World War II American Conservatism, Nash shows how a diverse group of men became an effective intellectual force in American life.
What They're Saying...
"The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America, Since 1945 remains since its publication in 1976 the most comprehensive treatment."
— Choice
"Thorough and scholarly, The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America, Since 1945 is a masterpiece of orchestration, skillfully handling a huge literature, drawing on historical events and the conservative thinkers' personalities… "
— The Social Critic
"Nash's seminal book will remind today's hotheads that the modern conservative movement was made possible by a coalition of traditionalists and libertarians with enough common goals to get along splendidly. Is the corrupt liberal state not enough to keep this unity intact?"
— The American Spectator
"Today, it is the single best source of information on the intellectuals who built modern American conservatism."
— Amazon.com, Expert Editor's Recommended Book
"When first published, George Nash's intellectual history of modern American conservatism became an instant classic. Now, with this ISI edition and a new Epilogue about the conservative forces that have emerged over the last 20 years, the original verdict holds: Nash's work is one of the very few books that must be read for a full understanding of the conservative movement in America."
— Edwin J. Feulner, Jr., President, The Heritage Foundation
"This book is a masterful study that can be read for pleasure as well as edification by the people on the entire range of the political spectrum. Moreover, since its central figures--conservative intellectuals were such a learned group, it serves as an introduction to the ideas that have governed Western Civilization over the course of two millennia."
— Forrest McDonald, author, The American Presidency
"In the two decades since George Nash's book first appeared, nothing remotely in its league for scholarship, for readability, and best of all, for intellectual good manners has come along to enhance it. Nash's career as a historian of ideas has given fresh life to the phrase 'a scholar and a gentleman.'"
— Midge Decter, author and editor
"His treatment is evenly balanced and scrupulously fair."
— First Things
