Concise Summary of Conservatism in America

This book presents a good summary of the conservative tradition in America. It also contains several pages of bibliographical information roughly categorized by the evolutionary eras of conservative thought. While it approximately covers the time period discussed in Russell Kirk's "The Conservative Mind" and George Nash's "The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945," it obviously does not contain the detail found in those books. Nevertheless, it does provide the reader with an overview of American conservatism and concludes by listing numerous sources for further investigation.
