Summary:
Philosopher Roger Scruton was the leading conservative thinker of the post-war years. His public pronouncements were prophetic and provocative. Dooley, Scruton's literary executor, has assembled the best of Scruton's essays and commentaries, arranged thematically. Writing with passion and conviction, Scruton takes aim at those who defy conservative common sense in favor of liberal falsehoods.
