Title: The Roots of American Order by Russell Kirk ISBN: 1-882926-99-4 Publisher: Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) Pub. Date: 01 May, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $18.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.4 (5 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: A Classic!
Comment: Kirk's Roots is a tour de force of the Western tradition. It is simply one of the finest surveys of the classical, religious, and European influences on American political thought ever composed. An erudite jem of prose for both general readers and scholars.
Rating: 2
Summary: An introduction for the high school upperclassman.
Comment: The hype on the dust jacket refers to Kirk as widely learned, but when the historian turns in this survey of the West to the pages covering matters on which he himself is expert, he finds errors galore. It may be true that this book is a good introduction, but it should be understood not to be for the educated. In short, Kirk's failure to find success in academia was not related to his political views, but to his rather shallow grasp of his field -- history.
Rating: 5
Summary: Why is this book out of print?
Comment: My first Kirk book, "The Roots of American Order" stands as one of the most influential books I have read, and turned me into an instant fan of his writings. In an age when citizens are searching what it is to be an American, this book describes its vast and rich history and offers remedies for the future. Its scope stretches the history of the western hemisphere but its readability is surprisingly lucid. If anyone has a chance to grab this rare document I highly recommend securing it and treasuring its infinite wisdom. This is a book I wish all I know could have a copy.
