Roots Of American Order by Russell Kirk
What holds America together? In this classic work, Russell Kirk describes the beliefs and institutions that have nurtured the American soul and commonwealth. Beginning with the Hebrew prophets, Kirk examines in dramatic fashion the sources of American order. His analytical narrative might be called "a tale of five cities": Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London, and Philadelphia. For an understanding of the significance of America at the dawn of a new century, Russell Kirk's masterpiece on the history of American civilization is unsurpassable. This edition includes a new foreword by the distinguished historian Forrest McDonald.
Russel Kirk (1918-1994) is widely regarded as one of the principal architects of the p ostwar conservative intellectual movement. A columnist, essayist, novelist, historian, and critic, Kirk's best known work is the Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot.
