The Neoconservative Persuasion: Selected Essays, 1942-2009 by Irving Kristol
This book is of interest mainly for the titular essay, which can be found online. There are a few other essays that dig, though never quite deeply enough, into neoconservatism, its genesis, and the position it occupies in modern politics. If you're interested in gaining insight into neoconservatism, I would suggest reading the aforementioned essay and skipping this volume. Too many of the other essays devolve into silly polemics and simply bad argumentation, though some of the ones show more comprising the first chapter, and drawn from Kristol's writing in the 40s and 50s, are also worth reading. show less
