Conservatism has provided one of America's great traditions. From the colonial era through modern times it has helped to shape the issues, debates, and values that have defined national character and development. For the
most part, however, only limited attention has been paid to the contours of this tradition. This book offers both a narrative and an analysis of American conservatism, and features an accompanying selection of pertinent documents for use in colleges and universities, as well as for interested general readers. |
