Almost from the moment its inaugural issue appeared in
September 1995, The Weekly Standard has been widely
considered the nation's preeminent journal of political
opinion and cultural commentary -- and the one magazine
you've absolutely got to read if you want to keep up with
American conservatism. Beyond reporting the events of the
times, The Weekly Standard has played a central role in
every major political drama of the past decade. In fact, so
influential has it proved in Washington -- year in and year
out, no matter which party controlled the White House --
that it's become a must-read for anyone who wants to
understand American politics and society as a whole. Now, in The Weekly Standard: A Reader, editor William
Kristol gathers together some of the very best articles and
essays the magazine has published in its first decade. The
dramas are here, of course: the "Republican Revolution" in
Congress; Monica Lewinsky; the Florida recount of 2000;
and, above all, 9/11 and the war on terrorism. And on hand
to recount and reflect on them is The Weekly Standard's
matchless, all-star stable of writers: Fred Barnes, David
Brooks, Tucker Carlson, and P. J. O'Rourke, to name just a
few. But there's always been much more to The Weekly Standard
than just the week's news. So The Weekly Standard: A Reader
is not merely an anthology of unsurpassed opinion
journalism. Here readers will find an enormous treasury of
timeless writing about dozens of subjects -- art, books,
music, movies, you name it -- each handled with the same
unique blend of insider savvy, reflective wisdom, and
mordant wit that's earned The Weekly Standard an
authoritative place in American public life.
