One of those rare publications that promises to shape the field of inquiry about the American founders for decades to come.

Newt Gingrich

A pathbreaking book. The American people finally have a definitive answer to the distortions about the founding that liberals have been pouring into the American mind since the 1960s. I recommend this book heartily. It belongs on every bookshelf and in every classroom in America.

Rush Limbaugh

Vindicating the Founders is important but (relatively) easy. Learning from them is more difficult. This book helps us learn from Jefferson, Hamilton, and Madison. And there aren't many better teachers about America.

William Kristol, editor, The Weekly Standard

Compelling, accurate, closely reasoned, and entirely convincing.

Forrest McDonald, University of Alabama; author of We the People

A valuable contribution to history and government studies on the founding.

Herman Belz, University of Maryland

Vindicating the Founders is an eloquent defense of the principles of the American founding by one of its most learned students.

Dinesh D'Souza, American Enterprise Institute
