A small group of neoconservatives--Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Norman Podhoretz, Jeane Kirkpatrick, and others--has had an influence on American politics that far outweighs its numbers. This book is the first discussion of their impact on foreign policy. John Ehrman traces the neoconservatives' shift from Cold War liberalism to conservatism, focusing on the careers and thinking of the most and politically important members--especially Moynihan.
