The book critiques the American yearning for normalcy, arguing it fosters a culture that sacrifices individuality for conformity. Viereck champions the "unadjusted person," akin to historical individualists, who prioritizes conscience over ego-driven conformity. He challenges the liberal assumption of critical thought's monopoly, suggesting that liberalism often offers mere platitudes. By emphasizing the value of conservatism, Viereck defends civil liberties as a form of informed dissent. The new content expands on original themes while acknowledging past inaccuracies, making it a significant contribution to conservative thought.
