The Heroes Behind the Conservative Movement

We all know about Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, but who knows about Holmes Tuttle, Henry Regnery, and Antony Fisher? Yet it was devoted conservatives like Tuttle, Regnery, and dozens of others, who paved the way for leaders like Goldwater and Reagan by financing and helping to create a Conservative Movement of ideas and people.

In Funding Fathers, authors Ron Robinson and Nicole Hoplin tell the untold, behind-the-scenes stories of the men and women who made the Conservative Movement the giant force it is today.

In Funding Fathers, you'll learn:

• How a chicken egg smuggler created one of the most influential economic institutes in the world
• How three California businessmen propelled Ronald Reagan into Americas political consciousness
• How William F. Buckley Jr. turned a book deal and a $100,000 investment into one of the most influential publications of our time
• How Spike Hennessy helped resurrect Hillsdale College
• Why Clarence Manion was the father of The Conscience of a Conservative

Funding Fathers is essential reading for those who want to know the inside story of the conservative movement and learn about its largely unheralded heroes.
