Ever since Ronald Reagan left office in 1989, liberal historians have been doing their best to sully his reputation and smear him as a "failed" President -- but now, in The Age of Reagan: The Conservative Counterrevolution 1980-1989, historian Steven F. Hayward sets the record straight. Hayward examines Reagan's well-known foreign policy and decisive role in the ending of the Cold War –- easily the most dramatic element of Reagan's tumultuous and triumphant presidency -- but also sheds much-needed light on Reagan's domestic policy, showing why these two aspects of Reagan's presidency should rightly be viewed as a unity.

He was the most controversial American general in World War II—and also one of the most successful, courageous, and audacious. As a post-war administrator of defeated Germany, he sounded alarm bells about the dangers of Soviet encroachment into Europe. Politically, he was a lightning rod—an outspoken conservative who continually embarrassed his superiors with his uncensored, undiplomatic, and unrestrained comments to the press. He was General George S. Patton Jr., "Old Blood and Guts."

When he was tapped to accompany President Clinton and carry the nuclear "football" that contains the top-secret codes the President needs in case of nuclear war, Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Buzz" Patterson was proud and grateful. He had already put his life on the line for his country many times as he flew combat missions over the Persian Gulf and Bosnia, and he was honored to take on this new and awesome responsibility. read more

If you hear about John C. Calhoun (1782-1850) at all nowadays, it's from liberals who try to tar him as a Southern-partisan relic whose thought was antiquated even in his own day. But conservatives who don't know Calhoun are depriving themselves of one of the most formidable defenses of liberty and republican government ever crafted. In Calhoun: Selected Writings and Speeches, Volume XII in the Club's own Conservative Leadership Series, you will find complete texts of his two major treatises, The Disquisition and The Discourse, plus a comprehensive collection of other important writings.

On March 20, 1797, founding father Samuel Adams, now Governor of Massachusetts, issued an official proclamation with the "advice and consent" of the state legislature calling for a "Day of Solemn Fasting and Prayer." In doing so, were the governor and legislature of Massachusetts violating the U.S. Constitution? Not to their thinking. Adams had signed the Declaration of Independence and had voted to ratify the Constitution; therefore, he not only understood the original intent of America's founding documents, he had helped make them. So had many others in his day who had crafted, assisted or observed Fast Day proclamations. For them, America’s foundation of faith was common knowledge, and they viewed American liberty as a legacy of the Judeo-Christian worldview.

Compulsive compromisers may eschew such advice, but this unprecedented anthology of military wisdom confirms a stark, simple principle of effective military leadership: in war, winning is everything. Even when they were losing, the 20 legendary warriors whose words are excerpted here never lost sight of that principle. They also shared one overriding trait: a desire to "get their boots muddy" on the front. Together, their unrivaled understanding of the art of command and their willingness to lead from the front earned them respect and loyalty of those they led -- who were inspired to risk death. read more

In 1966, Ronald Reagan’s astounding million-vote victory in the California gubernatorial race against incumbent Pat Brown caught the liberal establishment by surprise. The entrenched Democratic party, which viewed Reagan with disdain, had mistakenly considered him more an annoyance than a political threat. Just how did conservatism deliver such a crushing blow to liberalism?

By most accounts, the year 1964 was a disastrous one for conservatives. After a series of liberal legislative victories, Lyndon Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater by the biggest margin since FDR's 1936 landslide, and the Democratic Party gained its biggest majorities since the glory days of the New Deal. Yet this seemingly decisive shift in public opinion was illusory -- and the triumphant liberals would soon overplay their hand. Meanwhile, the conservative movement was quietly gaining strength, aligning itself behind an inspiring new leader who, only sixteen years later, would bring it to national dominance. read more

The Nobel Prize is just the beginning: Jimmy Carter is enjoying a new day in the sun, with left-wing historians taking a "fresh look" at his disastrous presidency and trying to bamboozle Americans into thinking that it was actually successful. This ongoing Saint Jimmy campaign would be laughable if it weren't part of a larger strategy to whitewash the records of failed Democrats and justify Carter's outsize influence on today's Democratic party. Although the voters decisively dispatched Jimmy Carter in 1980, his legacy lives on in potent form today and is likely to survive his death. But now in The Real Jimmy Carter Steven F. Hayward demolishes the Carter myth once and for all.

Rankings of presidential performances are common, and usually irritating: liberal academics love to place Ronald Reagan near the bottom and the likes of Slick Willie near the top. But now editors from two stalwart conservative organizations -- the Wall Street Journal and the Federalist Society -- have put together Presidential Leadership: Rating the Best and Worst in the White House.

Strategery is the latest installment of Bill Sammon's triumphant series on the historic presidency of George W. Bush. First came Fighting Back, the riveting account of Bush's courageous handling of the tense period immediately after September 11; then there was Misunderestimated, which took the story of Bush's presidency up to the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Now Strategery picks up where Misunderestimated left off, tracing John Kerry's challenge to the President, the hard-fought and hard-won election, and the tumultuous year that followed -- in which George W. Bush would consistently (though usually without any credit at all from a virulently hostile liberal media ) outwit his foes at home and abroad.

The Civil War is the defining event in American history, and Abraham Lincoln is the central figure of both the Civil War and American history. In his struggle to preserve the Union and redeem the nation from the original sin of slavery, Lincoln provided the most compelling expression of the American Dream and the preeminent justification of the American regime. Indeed, at Gettysburg he distilled the very essence of the nation's political creed. His political thought and leadership are of enduring significance to democracy at home and abroad. read more

We are still caught in the lie that Darwinism is the only respectable scientific position -- and much of this pseudoscientific dogmatism rests on myths surrounding the enigmatic figure of Charles Darwin himself. Darwin would change the world with his theory -- but the popular perception of him as a disinterested scientist who arrived at this theory after painstaking and meticulous examination of the natural world is dead wrong. As Benjamin Wiker proves in The Darwin Myth: The Life and Lies of Charles Darwin, Darwin did not originate the theory of evolution. Darwin's singular achievement was to dress it up with enough scientific trappings to make it plausible -- a goal which he pursued out of a fanatical desire to strike a blow at Christianity and eradicate the idea that human beings were created in the image of God. Wiker shows that Darwinism, despite the shrill denials of many of its supporters, does indeed lead to atheism -- because Darwin designed it to do so.

Theodore Roosevelt was a bold, unforgettable character -- cowboy, big game hunter, Rough Rider, champion of the "strenuous life." But does this man who is memorialized on Mount Rushmore, and whom historians regularly rank among our best presidents, deserve to be so celebrated? Absolutely not, argues historian Jim Powell. In Bully Boy: The Truth About Theodore Roosevelt's Legacy, Powell reveals that many of Roosevelt's most cherished policies and programs have had profoundly negative, long-lasting consequences for our nation -- and his signal achievement was to usher in the Big Government that plagues us today.

On July 4, 1937, twelve-year-old Jack Levin, later to become father of conservative radio host and author Mark Levin, walked several miles from his home to the parade route where the city of Philadelphia was celebrating our nation’s founding. There, one of the dignitaries in the parade caught young Jack's eye -- a Civil War veteran, dressed in his old Union uniform. "The soldier would become seared in my father's mind," writes Mark Levin today. "The most costly war in American history had become real to him. Thus began my father's lifelong journey of self-education and patriotic preaching about this great nation's history and founding principles." And since Jack had a particular admiration for Abraham Lincoln and a talent for drawing and design, in the 1960s he personally designed and produced this beautiful volume -- enhanced with period illustrations and striking battlefield images by Matthew Brady and other renowned photographers of the era -- which brings to life the words of Lincoln's awe-inspiring response to one of the Civil War's costliest conflicts.
