The Rise of Neoconservatism

A small group of neoconservatives--Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Norman Podhoretz, Jeane Kirkpatrick, and others--has had an influence on American politics that far outweighs their numbers. This book is the first discussion of their impact on foreign policy. John Ehrman tells how the neoconservative movement evolved out of the broad anticommunist coalition that dominated American liberalism from the late 1940s to the late 1960s.
