I'm pleased to announce to the FlynnFiles readership the title and release date of my third book. A Conservative History of the American Left, a book that I have been working for a long, long time, will be released by Crown Forum on April 29, 2008. Crown Forum's site has a graphic of the book's cover on its site. I think the dust jacket looks classy. I'm excited about the inside, too. The history of the American Left is filled with some amazingly interesting figures, who, once trends pass them by, get tossed down the memory hole. Well, I descended into the memory hole ("On belay?" "Belay on.") to rescue these great stories, and lessons, for posterity. There will be more detailed information on A Conservative History of the American Left in the coming months. For now, check out the periodic chronicles of the seemingly endless saga of writing this book, which includes teasing the readership about the top-secret project in March 2004, quitting a regular 9-5 job two years ago (Financially, a move that in its brilliance is rivalled only by my purchase of Enron stock), dispensing with trivial matters such as personal hygiene and grooming, going Bohemian on a writing trip to Bohemia, and visiting research libraries and interviewing cool people.
Congratulations! It looks good and I can't wait to get a hold of it.
What is the best way to buy the book? If I preorder on Amazon does that help or hurt the book's ranking when it actually comes out?

Why not try "The Conservative History of the Right Wing"?
Conservative histories of the right wing from post ww2 onward have been done to death. And recently there have also been a few books put out about the Southern Agrarians. One area that still seems unexplored to me is the old right (of those who were still alive) and how they confronted the 60s and 70s. I picked up a book called "Not to the Swift: Isolationists in the Cold War Era" written in 1979 I think, but unfortunately it didn't go past the 50s.
Fantastic news - congratulations, Dan!
Off topic, but undoubtedly imperative
