Comment: This is an exellent book by a man at the forefront of the conservative movement in America. Ed Feulner takes samples from the writings of the centuries foremost conservative thinkers including Hayek, Russell Kirk, Ronald Reagan, Whittaker Chambers, and others and puts them into one very nice volume. He writes introductions to each essay highlighting important points in the writers lives and turning points for them intellectually. It is well worth reading!

Summary: An Anthology of Conservative Thought in the 20th Century
Comment: This book by no means covers the breadth and depth of conservative thought during the 20th century; but it does give the reader a glimpse into the mindset and thoughts of some of conservatism's most heroic figures. Of course, Feulner himself is one of those heroes. So it is fitting that he would write about his contemporaries. The book provides brief biographical and bibliographical information on each conservative hero along with an essay/article that epitomizes what that individual represented. The heroes include the minds of the conservative movement: William F. Buckley, Jr., Russell Kirk, F.A. Hayek, Milton Friedman and Frank S. Meyer; and the witnesses of the conservative movement: Midge Dector, Albert Jay Nock, Whittaker Chambers, Michael Novak, Wilhelm Roepke, Richard M. Weaver and President Ronald Reagan. This book is a must read for modern conservatives since bridging the ideas from the past to the present is essential to promoting free markets, individual liberty, and smaller government.

Summary: A Book Conservatives Should Read
Comment: If you think you know the difference between the modern liberal and the modern conservative, but are not familiar with the writings of the twelve writers collected in this volume, you probably DON'T. These are carefully written, carefully reasoned discussions about statesmanship, economics, politics, and personal attitudes, by "liberals turned conservative", "liberals partly turned conservative", and "long-time but open-minded conservatives" (with the possible exception of William F. Buckley who is Mr Conservative). The introductions to each selection by Edwin Feulner provide a short historical background for each author that is extremely interesting in its own right. This is not a book by "whining" conservatives decrying the existence of "whining" liberals, but a sampling of conservative thought frequently modified by liberal inclinations in certain areas that allow one to assess and evaluate the arguments of conservatism at its best.
