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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\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, Stein­fels 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).","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43405264847103,"sku":"9781476728834","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781476728834_s600x595.jpg?v=1776100909","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781476728834","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
