Chicago: Henry Regnery Company, [1963]. Hardcover with dust jacket.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA major statement from Willmoore Kendall, the Yale political scientist who helped shape the early intellectual direction of the postwar conservative movement and taught and influenced a young William F. Buckley Jr. Kendall was a founding senior editor of National Review and one of the movement's most combative thinkers. In this book he argues for a distinctly American conservatism, rooted in the nation's founding traditions and in majority rule through deliberative institutions, and he challenges liberal readings of the American tradition. He was also an outspoken critic of other conservatives, so the book is a useful counterweight to Frank Meyer's fusionism if you're collecting the movement's internal debates. It's a scarce, serious title in the Regnery conservative canon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SunDust Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67601151623213,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/8012\/8301\/files\/03E44D63-B078-4DFF-9A45-53B95BA8AD2C.jpg?v=1790906862","url":"https:\/\/sundustbooks.com\/products\/the-conservative-affirmation-by-willmoore-kendall","provider":"SunDust Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
