"A vocal conservative academic is a rarity, and so one turns to this book with curiosity. Perhaps here, in the 'incisive' essays the book jacket promises, we can find a refreshing corrective to scholarly orthodoxy. But such is not the case. Instead, the book gathers brief occasional essays that largely retread the Nashville Agrarians. The spirit is (understandably) defensive and cramped, the language (necessarily) elliptical. The theme is that since the Declaration of Independence Americans have witnessed a vast invasion of their liberty in the name of equality. The villains range from Abraham Lincoln to the proponents of the Civil Rights movement. The quest for equality appears only as a dangerous chimera. While conservatives may take joy or pleasure in the essays, liberals will reshelve the book with their ideology unruffled." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
