Book Synopsis Leo Strauss and the American Right by : Shadia B. Drury
Book excerpt: In 1980, Ronald Reagan was elected President of the United States for his first term and the conservative revolution that was slowly developing in the United States finally emerged in full-throated roar. Who provoked the conservative revolution? In this work, Shadia Drury provides an answer to the question as she looks at the work of Leo Strauss, a seemingly reclusive German-Jewish emigrant and scholar, who was one of the most influential individuals in the conservative movement, a man widely seen as the godfather of the Republican party's failed Contract With America.
