Introduction: why Strauss, why now? -- Jerusalem -- How Jewish was Leo Strauss? -- Gershom Scholem and Leo Strauss : notes toward a German-Jewish dialogue -- Strauss's Spinoza -- Athens -- Leo Strauss's platonic liberalism -- Destruktion or recovery? on Strauss's critique of Heidegger -- Tyranny ancient and modern -- Strauss's America -- WWLSD; or, what would Leo Strauss do?

Summary: Interest in Leo Strauss is greater now that at any time since his death, mostly because of the purported link between his thought and the political movement known as neoconservatism. Smith depicts Strauss not as the high priest of neoconservatism but as a friend of liberal democracy.
