![]() | Dear National Review Friend, My colleague Charles Cooke is a favorite of many NRO readers, and rightly so. He is off-the-charts perceptive, wise, witty, and fearless on a range of critical topics, covering politics, culture, domestic and foreign policy, free speech. And he's a darn exceptional writer too. So you won't blame us for being eager to get our hands on his forthcoming book, out in a few weeks (March 10th to be precise) -- The Conservatarian Manifesto: Libertarians, Conservatives, and the Fight for the Right's Future. (Great News: anticipation for Charlie's book is so high that this week it hit the #1 ranking for Amazon's New Political Commentary category.) You should be (eager) too. In fact, we're betting you are. So you won't mind our encouraging you to pre-order your copy today at Amazon, right here. What's the book about? Charlie and I had a little chat about it last week, and here's the essence: The Conservatarian Manifesto is a call to arms for the growing movement of "Conservatarians" -- members of the right who are fiscally conservative but more socially liberal (and the book is also a fascinating look at conservatism's past and future). Conservatarians are vexed by Republicans' failure to cut the size and scope of Washington D.C., but they are critical of some libertarians for their unacceptable positions on abortion, national defense, and immigration. They applaud conservatives' (wildly successful!) efforts to protect Second Amendment rights, but they see the War on Drugs as an unmitigated disaster that goes against everything conservatives ought to value. In The Conservatarian Manifesto, Charlie shows the way back to a better and more honest conservatism that champions limited government, reality-based policy, and favor for the smallest minority of all: the individual. This is going to be an important book (it even has its own own website that you should check out), one that will instigate lots of debate within the movement, that will have a profound impact on its course, direction, and intensity. In other words, it's going to be a book you want to have. But don't take my word for it. Here are what some leading conservatives have to say about Charlie and his new book:
Hey -- maybe you're a conservatarian?! But even if you aren't, you'll want to make sure you're part of the debate from the get-go. So pre-order your copy of The Conservatarian Manifesto here. You'll be glad you did. Thanks for being a fan of National Review and our great writers.
