Description: "The American Cause explains in simple language the bedrock principles upon which America's experiment in constitutional self-government is built.".

"Russell Kirk, whose life and thought was featured recently in C-SPAN's acclaimed "American Writers" series, intended "this little book" to be an assertion of the moral and social principles upholding our nation. Kirk's primer is an aid to reflection on those principles - political, economic, and religious - that have united Americans when faced with challenges and threats from the enemies of ordered freedom."--BOOK JACKET.
