Commentary in American Life (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781592131051)

Founded by the American Jewish Committee in 1945 as a monthly journal of significant thought and opinion, Jewish affairs and contemporary issues, "Commentary" magazine has through the years had a far-reaching impact on American politics and culture. Commentary "in American Life" traces this influence over time, especially in creating the neoconservative movement. The authors of each chapter also consider the ways the magazine shaped and reflected major cultural and literary trends in the United States. The end result offers a full accounting of one of the most important journals of American political thought, providing insight into the development of American collective politics and culture over the last six decades.
