Publisher's Summary
In the 20th century, there were giants in the land, and W. Cleon Skousen was one of them. Based on his extensive journals, letters, interviews and speeches, this book is the story of a 20th century crusader, told in his own words, with all the personal insights and controversies included in a career that spanned more than 70 years.
His six careers include:
- Special Agent for the FBI, directly under J. Edgar Hoover
- Beloved professor of religion at Brigham Young University and popular tour guide to the Holy Land
- Chief of Police in Salt Lake City
- Founder and director of the Freeman Institute, later called National Center for Constitutional Studies, where he developed significant seminars on the US Constitution
- Author of 34 bestselling books on religion, communism, history and the Constitution, selling an estimated 3 million copies
- Leader in the anti-communist movement, giving over 10,000 speeches on five continents during his lifetime.
Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, said, "Cleon Skousen was a key figure in the emergence of modern conservatism. He provided intellectual leadership and courage during a period when big-government liberalism seemed permanently dominant. The Reagan Revolution and the House Republican revolution in the 1994 Contract with America campaign both were strengthened by Skousen's intellectual efforts.
