Lee Willard Edwards was an American academic and author and a fellow at The Heritage Foundation. He was a historian of the conservative movement in the United States.
For an institutional history I found the book both readable and enjoyable. It was refreshing to learn about the battle for ideas on college campuses, from a conservative point-of-view.
