George H. Nash is a Senior Fellow of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation. Nash is also a Senior Fellow of the Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal. His acclaimed book The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945 is not only the definitive history of postwar conservatism but also a landmark work of intellectual history. Although not mentioning Ford specifically, he helps the reader understand the intellectual background of Ford’s principled pragmatism and own brand of conservatism. Likewise, his writings on Herbert Hoover have helped reclaim the legacy of an oft-misunderstood President, one whose own career mirrored in some ways the challenges and successes of President Ford’s.
