Yet long before and far away, Communists in London chanted \"Free Frank Meyer!\" to block the deportation of a comrade who was their cause célèbre. Those fervent Marxists could never have predicted that their hero would one day provide the intellectual energy necessary to propel conservatives to political power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Invented Conservatism\u003c\/i\u003e unveils one of the twentieth century's great untold stories: a Communist turned conservative, an antiwar activist turned soldier, and a free-love enthusiast turned family man whose big idea captured the American Right. This intellectual migration coincided with a clandestine affair inside 10 Downing Street, service as a lieutenant to the man who later constructed the Berlin Wall, and neighborly chats with the pop-star and poet celebrity next door. Present at the creation of \u003ci\u003eNational Review\u003c\/i\u003e, Meyer helped launch Joan Didion's writing career. From H. G. Wells to Henry Kissinger to Milton Friedman, he rubbed shoulders with everyone who mattered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving discovered Meyer's previously unexamined correspondence in an old soda warehouse, Daniel J. Flynn documents this saga in \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Invented Conservatism\u003c\/i\u003e, exposing the rivalries, jealousies, friendships, and fights that shaped the movement and what it means to be a conservative today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 544\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.9 x 8.9 x 5.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 19, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978203398445,"sku":"9781641774499","price":38.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/sp9kObyff9781641774499.webp?v=1775801000","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-man-who-invented-conservatism-the-unlikely-life-of-frank-s-meyer-hardcover","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
