<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the late founder of neoconservatism, a wide-ranging collection of his best writings<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Irving Kristol, the godfather of neoconservatism and one of our most important public intellectuals, played an extraordinarily influential role in the development of American intellectual and political culture over the past half century. These essays, many hard to find and reprinted here for the first time since their initial appearance, are a penetrating survey of the intellectual development of one of the progenitors of neoconservatism. <p/> Kristol wrote over the years on a remarkably broad range of topics -- from W. H. Auden to Ronald Reagan, from the neoconservative movement's roots in the 1940s at City College to American foreign policy, from religion to capitalism. Kristol's writings provide us with a unique guide to the development of neoconservatism as one of the leading strains of thought -- one of the leading persuasions -- in recent American political and intellectual history.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Irving Kristol</b> was an editor and then the managing editor of <i>Commentary</i> magazine from 1947 to 1952; executive vice-president of the publishing house Basic Books from 1961 to 1969; Henry Luce Professor of Urban Values at New York University from 1969 to 1987; and co-founder and co-editor of the <i>Public Interest</i> from 1965 to 2002.
