A powerful insight into the political right and its rise over the last forty years. I came away feeling somewhat less hopeful about humanity as the presence and momentum of Conservatism became clearer through reading this book. Recommended to all, especially lefties like me.
The only disappointing aspect of the book as a whole is that the author somewhat lazily cobbles the book from previously written essays over the years sandwiched between an opening and closing chapter. As such it lacks a certain coherence and elegance that a more wilful effort might have made. In spite of this I am grateful to the author for writing this important book.
