App Description
10 BOOKS EVERY CONSERVATIVE MUST READ by Benjamin Wiker, Ph.D. (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).
“Sprightly, witty, engaging....Professor Wiker recommends actually reading the books—but his own book is a whole lot more fun.” (Thomas E. Woods, Jr., Ph.D., author of "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization")
In this “CliffsNotes guide” to some of the most important literary works of our time, Wiker examines the great texts that have vital conservative lessons for Western civilization. Written with an educational purpose and a witty tone, this is a must read for conservatives, republicans, and booklovers everywhere.
