I wonder if Rand had groomed him to be a public intellectual, the way AEI did with Charles Murray in 1970s/1980s: i.e. give lots of time & resources to publish.

Have we any information about how "End of History" (the article) got written? I wonder if, after the success of Closing of American Mind, Bloom (and maybe Kristol?) encouraged FF to think big?

The thing for you to think about is that these big right-wing best sellers of 1980s/1990s (Closing, End of History, D'Souza's anti-PC book) weren't spontaneous but nurtured by institutional networks designed to change public opinion.

Useful for the left end of things. FF's Hegalism meant he engaged more with Marxists than most conventional IR people (FF once told Tariq Ali that Perry Anderson wrote the best critique of End of History).

My hunch would be Bloom. Strauss always encouraged his students to visit Kojeve when they went to France.
