Synopsis
This first full-length treatment of Russell Kirk's life and accomplishments blends new biographical insights and critical perspectives about the author of the groundbreaking The Conservative Mind. Kirk, the off-attributed "father" of the Conservative movement in America, was a careful and thorough thinker whose hundreds of publications brought Conservative thought and history into focus for a new generation of politicos. In a world where the term "Conservative" has a hundred different meanings, Person takes the movement back to its roots and illuminates the man behind the philosophy.
