That penchant for untimely questions, along with his fierce intellectual integrity, has sometimes made him unpopular among other conservatives, but it has also brought him into close contact with some of the most important leaders and thinkers of the past half century. Now, in the fascinating memoir Encounters, Gottfried candidly recounts his associations with a host of compelling and commanding figures, from presidents to scholars, Marx- ists to anticommunists, neoconservatives to libertarians, and beyond. Here he vividly recalls the strange evolution of his friendship with Richard Nixon—a Nixon very differ- ent from the public persona; his relationship with a rather unlikely mentor, the famous leftist Herbert Marcuse; his long friendship with the pugnacious Pat Buchanan; the often conflicting visions of three eminent men of the Right—Russell Kirk, Murray Rothbard, and Sam Francis; his early run-ins, and later rapport, with the historian and social critic Christopher Lasch; and much more.
