Looking for a recommendation for the history/theory of the neo-con movement

by [deleted]

I want to learn about how the movement started and developed and eventually got absorbed by the GOP party. Anyone have a recommendation for a book? I only have time to read one book, so pick your favorite! thanks

Without a doubt, Justin Vaisse's Neoconservatism: The Biography of a Movement. While it has its flaws, I think it is the the best book for getting a thorough analysis about the rise of neoconservatism alongside a narrative that won't bore you to tears.
