Russell Kirk (1918-1994) was an American conservative thinker, historian, social and literary critic. His works had a huge impact on post-war conservatism in the United States. Kirk was a supporter of traditional values, skeptical of the ideology of progress and utopian visions. In his writings, he emphasized the importance of religion, morality, family and local community for social and political stability. His thinking is characterized by a deep respect for cultural and historical heritage and the belief in the need to maintain continuity with the past.

„The Roots of American Order” is one of Kirk's most important works, in which he analyzes the foundations and evolution of Western civilization, with a special focus on its Anglo-Saxon branch. Kirk considers the dilemmas of politics, spirituality and culture, which from antiquity to the 19th century were the subject of heated ideological and religious disputes and fierce political struggles, but led to the creation of customs, rules and laws worth preserving and protecting. His book is particularly relevant at a time when traditional orders are being fiercely fought in many Western countries and their defenders are being successfully marginalized.

This book is an extremely important contribution to understanding the roots of contemporary social and political problems. Kirk, by analyzing history and political thought, points to lasting values and principles that should be the foundation of every society that wants to maintain order and stability. His work is an appeal to return to tradition and common sense in the face of contemporary challenges.
