Leo Strauss and the Politics of American Empire by Anne Norton
This provocative book examines the thinking of political theorist Leo Strauss and how his ideas have been appropriated - or misappropriated - for various conservative agendas.
"gorgeously written and fascinating in its own right.. overall, it illuminates current ideology from a novel and useful angle" Steven Poole, The Guardian "Well-informed and witty." Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., New York Review of Books "[Norton's] most impressive achievement is to demonstrate how far the ideas we associate with Straussians have strayed from Strauss's ideas." Alan Wolfe, New York Times Book Review "Has the flavor of an amusing tell-all... a sort of critical field guide to Straussians." New Yorker"
Anne Norton is professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania.
