Gottfried argues that the lack of a true historical perspective was a serious defect in the postwar American conservative movement, and it grew worse in the years that followed. Essential reading for conservative thinkers, political philosophers, and American political historians, \u003ci\u003eThe Search for Historical Meaning\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with an incisive examination of the American conservative movement that has implications for today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Northern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685391888664,"sku":"9780875801148","price":18.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-search-for-historical-meaning-hegel-and-the-postwar-american-right-hardback-9780875801148","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
