A fresh look at James Burnham.
As Daniel Kelly's absorbing biography makes clear, the political and intellectual influence of James Burnham (1905-1987) was far-reaching. In his books, articles, and columns, Burnham foresaw the rise of the bureaucratic "managerial state"; he warned of the advent of an imperial presidency; and he was an astute geopolitical analyst who issued dire warnings about the degeneration—or "suicide," as one of his most famous books put it—of the West. George Orwell was both attracted to and disturbed by his work. Ezra Pound was moved to write him. Arthur Koestler and André Malraux, among many others, befriended him. James Burnham and the Struggle for the World must be read not only by those interested in the life of this seminal conservative thinker and Cold War strategist, but also by anyone who wants a better understanding of the forces behind the most important ideological clash of the modern age.
