Irving Kristol (1920-2009) was a neoconservative political writer, activist, and strategist. He took pride in being called "the godfather of neoconservatism." Kristol, like many New York intellectuals of his age, moved left to right across the political spectrum, and brought along with him his readers as editor of Basic Books, editor of journals like The Public Interest and The National Interest, founder and editor of The Weekly Standard (now edited by his son, William Kristol), and fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He was the Henry R. Luce professor of urban values in NYU's business school.
He is the father of William Kristol and the husband of historian Gertrude Himmelfarb. [1]
