James D. Hornfischer Political Books

Right Thinking is a provocative, illuminating field guide to twenty-five centuries of conservative wisdom. By his careful selection, James D. Hornfischer not only gathers the scattered apples of conservative thought from all periods of human history, but also helps us to shape and define the essence of conservatism itself. Here, in one convenient volume, are the best and most penetrating words of more than 130 famous (and infamous) conservatives, including Ronald Reagan, William F. Buckley, George Will, Ayn Rand, Benjamin Franklin, T.S. Eliot, St. Augustine, George Bernard Shaw, Aesop, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson.
