Conservatism Inc.: The Battle for the American Right

Conservatism Inc. is a compilation of first-rate journalistic pieces written in the heat of the moment by James Kirkpatrick, during one of the most intense periods of contemporary American politics — the events surrounding the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States.

But Conservatism Inc. is also a concerted critique of an entire political class from the ground up, with special regard for the failings and cowardice of contemporary American conservatism.

Key Features:

• Written with uncompromising and fearless wit, reminiscent of a latter-day H. L. Mencken.
• Cuts to the bone of contemporary events, exposing the essential and enduring questions beneath transient moments.
• Serves as a timely reminder of one of the watershed democratic moments in recent American history.
• Provides a stinging survey of the sorry American political scene.
• Offers an admonitory revelation of what is fundamentally at stake in our current politics.

This book is both a powerful critique and a thought-provoking exploration, making it essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the forces shaping modern American conservatism.
