“Stan Evans was a great journalist who deserves a great biographer—and now he has one in Steve Hayward, who captures the significance and humor of Stan's remarkable life in a book that is both an important contribution to the history of American conservatism as well as just plain funny.” —John J. Miller, director of the Dow Journalism Program at Hillsdale College “Erudition, wit, high principal, and humane sympathy made Stan Evans, despite his overarching modesty, a leading light of American conservatism. They are also the qualities Steve Hayward brings to this wonderful biography. It is illuminating in detail and deft in tone. No other scholar today could have produced such an engaging account of this important life.” —Hugo Gurdon, Editor-In-Chief, Washington Examiner “Few people were as central to creating today's conservative movement as Stan Evans.  Steven Hayward chronicles his whirlwind accomplishments in a book that’s both scholarly and entertaining: Author of the Sharon Statement of conservative principles, major newspaper editor at age 25, chair of the American Conservative Union, and teaching mentor to hundreds of aspiring journalists.  Stan Evans, with his famously sardonic sense of humor, would grade this book ‘Excellent, albeit incomplete in describing just how much fun the subject of interest had.'" —John Fund, National Review “Here is a biography of one of the most thoughtful, brave, and witty founders of the American conservative movement by a biographer who is his equal in all three capacities. Astounding but true.” —John O’Sullivan, editor emeritus, National Review
