The Death of Conservatism
Categories: History
The Death of Conservatism is a 2009 book by Sam Tanenhaus, then editor of The New York Times Book Review, expanded from his essay in The New Republic. He traces American conservatism from Edmund Burke and William F. Buckley to the movement of the 2000s, arguing that it had abandoned its grounded, skeptical tradition for a harsh ideological politics.
