[...] Birzer, a historian by training, is a vibrant biographer and sympathetic guide to Kirk's own historical orientation. Birzer not only chronicle's Kirk's own life but also expertly explores his context and competitors. [...] Birzer also gives us the first extended measure of Kirk the man. [...] We are indebted to Birzer for a book that, like the principles of conservatism, will endure, ennoble, and encourage. -- Modern Age Journal

An extraordinary book. Birzer has written a capacious and deeply humane treatment of an important thinker, writer, and actor who has been largely forgotten by an America that once regarded him as a singular and important voice. This lively and fascinating book will be read and talked about. -- Patrick Deneen, author of Democratic Faith
