      5. Implicitly many postwar conservatives had the same intuition as Louis Hartz & Richard Hofstadter: USA was society with liberal individualist founding. So they looked to Europe as an alternative.

      6. Best example is Brent Bozell (National Review founder & Goldwater ghost writer) who thought Franco's Spain was ideal Christian civilization. He & his wife ran camp for people to see splendour of this society.

      7. National Review also celebrated renegade French military leaders who tried to overthrow the Fifth Republic & kill de Gaulle.pic.twitter.com/z1QukaDvwS

      8. The feeling was mutual. Many on European right admired USA counterparts. Otto von Hapsburg, pretender to Austrian throne, said National Review was the only magazine that talked sense to the American people.

      9. Maurice Papon, a fascist who as head of Paris police ordered the massacres of 1961 & 1962 that killed more than 100 protesters, was influenced by National Review editor James Burnham.pic.twitter.com/d2H7JsR8Cz

      Here's my one quibble: Burnham, like Max Eastman, is one time Trot who ends up at National Review. But "one of the most extreme right wing theorists?" That author gives hyperbole a bad name.

      Well, from 1946-1956 Burnham repeatedly argued for a preemptive attack on Soviet Union.

      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).

      I know he did OSS CIA work during WW II, but didn't see him as a major figure in post-WW II foreign policy, where there was a broad, bipartisan consensus for containment of communism, not rollback.

      He was a very influential figure on the right and even in policy circles (an OSS memo he wrote is credited by at least one author as germ of NSC-68).
