Reviews for Leo Strauss: An Introduction to His Thought and Intellectual Legacy
Pangle... brings to his task the remarkable erudition, and his volume may be said to have succeeded in restoring, and perhaps even deepening, the more sober view of Strauss's intention that prevailed in his lifetime and for a decade or so after death.
