ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many people have made important contributions to this book. Amy Farranto at Northern Illinois University Press provided indispensable guidance in preparing the manuscript. I am grateful to scholars Michael Kimmage, Jennifer Burns, and an anonymous reviewer for suggestions that were incorporated into this book. Editors Jon Harrison, Liz McKibbin, Allister Thompson, and Michael S. improved drafts of the manuscript. This book fortunately landed in their hands at early stages of writing.

I could not have completed the research by myself. The research staff at Hoover Institute Library and Archives was particularly helpful in making Burnham's archives accessible. The librarians at Southern New Hampshire University acquired countless National Review articles for me. Ryan Rebstock at Canterbury School also retrieved an article.
