Viac o knihe

The book explores the contrasting reactions of American and European intellectuals during the Cold War, particularly in response to the dangers posed by Nazism and Soviet communism. Written by prominent conservative thinker Peter Viereck, it delves into the philosophical and ideological divides that shaped these responses. The 2006 preface adds contemporary context, enriching the discussion of how these historical threats influenced modern conservatism and intellectual thought.
