Right Nation : Conservative Power in America

How, in a relatively short time, did America veer so far to the right as to become incomprehensible to Europe, as it would no doubt be to Richard Nixon? And why is it likely to remain so no matter who occupies the Oval Office? Like latter-day de Tocquevilles, English journalists John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge explain this new America, and the conservative movement that shaped it, with a freshness and clarity that elude most native observers. The Right Nationis an indispensable guide to the mystery of American difference that will illuminate readers on both the right and left.

John Micklethwait is the U.S. editor for the Economist and Adrian Wooldridge is its Washington correspondent. They have coauthored three books, including The Witch Doctors, which won a Financial Times/Booz Allen Global Business Book Award, and The Company: A Short History of a Revolutionary Idea.
