No doubt that Burnham was a hard anti-communist, but anti-communism cut through a very broad swath of American intellectual life in 1950s, starting with social democratic left and moving rightward. Don't really see Burnham as a foreign policy intellectual.

He was National Review's foreign policy columnist! Also did work for OSS & CIA (where he helped organize East European counter-insurgents).
