- Summary:
- In Letters To A Young Conservative, he stakes out the conservative philosophy that made him the enfant terrible of the Reagan revolution and a best-selling author. With rigor, wit and clarity, D'Souza shows that it is conservatives who uphold the classical "liberal" principles of the American Revolution: economic freedom, political freedom, and freedom of speech and religion. These freedoms, combined with a commitment to civic and social virtue, distinguish the conservative vision of what it means to lead a good and happy life.
