Home Alfred S. Regnery, the publisher of The American Spectator, has been a part of the American conservative movement since childhood, when his father founded The Henry Regnery Company, which subsequently became Regnery Publishing—the preeminent conservative publishing house that, among other notable achievements, published William F. Buckley’s first book, God and Man at Yale. Including many uniquely personal anecdotes and stories, Regnery himself now boldly chronicles the development of the conservative movement from 1945 to the present. See more about Alfred S. Regnery... The outpouring of grief at the funeral of Ronald Reagan in 2004—and the acknowledgment that Reagan has come to be considered one of the greatest presidents of the twentieth century—is Regnery’s opening for a fascinating insider story. Beginning at the start of the twentieth century, he shows how in the years prior to and just post World War II, expanding government power at home and the expanding Communist empire abroad inspired conservatives to band together to fight these threats. The founding of the National Review, the drive to nominate Barry Goldwater first as vice-president and later as president, the apparent defeat of the conservative movement at the hands of Lyndon Johnson, and the triumphant rise of Ronald Reagan from the ashes are all chronicled in vivid prose that shows a uniquely intimate knowledge of the key figures. Regnery shares his views on the opposition that formed in response to Earl Warren’s Supreme Court rulings, the role of faith (both Roman Catholic and Evangelical) in the renewed vigor of conservatism, and the contributing role of American businessmen who attempted to oppose big government.

It also is a warning signal to John McCain not to take mainline conservatives for granted come November." -The Washington Times "[Upstream] ought to be on the reading list of every student of American history." -The New York Sun Upstream Reviews: Upward and Onward SOMEWHERE BACK IN THE LATE 1950s, it was common to hear liberals sigh that they wished -- they really did -- that they could find some serious conservatives to argue with. Now, however, when they have an abundant supply of intellectual adversaries, liberals have decided that perhaps they'd rather not talk at all.

Read Full Review on Washingtontimes.com Upstream Details the Making of a Movement Half a century ago, if a conservative wanted to publish a book, there was really only one place to go -- the Henry Regnery Company of Chicago. Regnery, one of the founders of HUMAN EVENTS in 1944, returned to Chicago to set up his publishing company in 1947. At that time, conservative authors were worse than persona non grata in mainstream publishing circles -- they were persona non extant. Read Full Review on Humanevents.com
