Edmund Burke

""This is a deft and exciting book – the best short scholarly account of Burke, written with clarity and authority. Burke remains one of the few great philosopher-statesmen of modern history, and Ross Carroll offers an original, compelling, and judicious analysis of his thought."" Richard Bourke, University of Cambridge ""Ross Carroll has written a nuanced and learned study of Burke’s intellectual and political life, which is the best introduction to Burke’s political theory and the starting point for any student interested in his politics."" Max Skjönsberg, The Hamilton Center for Classical and Civic Education, University of Florida “The best short introduction to Burke’s political thought.” lawliberty.org
