The previous edition of The Conservative Tradition in America presented the first full-scale survey of American conservatism written since the 1950's. Now brought up-to-date and including a new chapter and bibliography, the revised edition traces the many political and philosophical strands of conservatism from their origins to the present. Clear and comprehensive, it is essential reading for students and scholars seeking information about the past, present, and future of one of today's most important political movements.
