Review:
Jean-François Drolet s American Neoconservatism, a concise blend of political theory, intellectual history, and contemporary politics, marks one of those rare occurrences of highly relevant academic literature. Drolet s aim in the work is to challenge the neoconservative hearkening for a moral, united America by uncovering the doctrine s anti-Enlightenment ideological roots, and so reveal it as an ideology based on anti-liberal values. His message is a persuasive one, and he adds to it with insight into the ambiguous position neoconservatism has in contemporary American politics: that is, in our current state of blurry post-neoconservatism. --Harvard Political Review
This is the best book on Neo-Conservatism that I have read. Drolet combines an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the key ideologues in the movement with a highly sophisticated use of political philosophy. The result is a very readable book that is set to become definitive. --Toby Dodge, Senior Fellow for the Middle East, the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
Drolet displays a dazzzling mastery of key literatures and sub-fields, ranging from American foreign policy studies through American political development to the history of political thought --Dr Marc Stears, University Lecturer in Political Theory, Oxford University
