Russell Kirk's "Enemies of the Permanent Things" Enemies of the Permanent Things - Russell Kirk Russell Kirk remains consistently one of the most interesting American defenders of the conservative cause.
His latest book, Enemies of the Permanent Things, is important, timely, gracefully expressed, and charitable toward its opponents—all in all, a superior example of haut vulgarisation, in which Mr. Kirk undertakes to convince and persuade a fairly wide, a cultivated though not specialist readership. Beyond these virtues, the book rises in some passages to an intensity of perception and feeling unusual in a confessedly intellectual exercise.
