Suburban Orange County was one of the seedbeds of the modern conservative movement, and as such its local development has national significance, As Harvard historian Lisa McGirr explains in her study of it, Suburban Warriors: The Origins of the New American Right<\/i>, \"Orange County might best be understood as a prototype: the first functional form of a new conservative milieu that appeared less distinctively elsewhere.\" This development should also be seen as one particularly extreme example of the unfolding anti-urban politics that's the subject of Daniel Lazare's America's Undeclared War<\/i>, discussed in an accompanying review.<\/p>\r\n\r\n \r\n <\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n\r\n
