Best-selling author, professor, and pundit Mallory Factor illuminates the traditional custom in American politics with essays fromleading information in the traditional movement. Ambitious in its breadth and depth, Big Tent provides a fresh and amazing treatment of the traditional movement as informed by the leaders themselves.

- Yaron Brook of the Ayn Rand Institute on the emergence of libertarianism
- Ed Meese on the Reagan Revolution
- David Keene of the NRA on Buckley-style "fusionism"
- Phyllis Schlafly on the rise of the spiritual right
