Presents the early published writings of the distinguished political philosopher Leo Strauss, available here for the first time in English. "Zank places at the reader's disposal the young Strauss's passionate advocacy of political Zionism and his early confrontations with Spinoza, consideration of whom helped lead Strauss to formulate his teaching on 'the quarrel between the ancients and the moderns.'" -- National Review.
