In a new Introduction he describes its evolution from a reaction to Sixties' social change into an entrenched political force promoting an assertive, even belligerent, foreign policy.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMore than three decades ago, in \u003ci\u003eThe Neoconservatives\u003c\/i\u003e, Peter Steinfels described a nascent movement, predicting that it would be the sixties' \"most enduring legacy to American politics.\u003c\/b\u003e\" Now, in a new foreword to that portrait, he traces neoconservatism's fateful transformation. What was a movement of dissenting intellectuals creating a new, modern kind of conservatism became a phalanx of political insiders urging the nation to flex its muscles overseas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Neoconservatives\u003c\/i\u003e describes the founders of the movement, disenchanted liberals recoiling from the turmoil of the sixties, a decline in authority, and a loss of tough-minded leadership at home and abroad. Written contemporaneously to the birth of a movement that would profoundly mark American history, \u003ci\u003eThe Neoconservatives\u003c\/i\u003e holds clues, Stein-fels argues, to how and why neoconservatism swerved from its original promise even as it successfully implanted itself as an influential and aggressive element in our politics. This is a landmark book, \"an important contribution to understanding the influence of ideas on American politics\" (\u003ci\u003eCongress Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 8.45 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 19, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51759226224928,"sku":"9781476728834","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/98afb9d73d3e3cc29100bc4bff02b8a1.webp?v=1780146073","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-neoconservatives-the-origins-of-a-movement-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
