Review Quotes: 'This book offers a clearly written, informative, and valuable historical account of the social conservative movement in Canada and the United States over the last forty years. It is sure to be well received by both academics and the broader public thanks to its neutral tone and perspective - so often lacking in discussions of social conservatives and politics - and will make a real and lasting contribution on a subject where there has been a clear need.'--Paul Saurette, Department of Political Studies, University of Ottawa
