IF I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Darn!!! This sounds like a really good book, Mark D. Popowski's The Rise and Fall of Triumph: The History of a Radical Roman Catholic Magazine.

The hardcover is $80 and the Kindle version is $76!!!!!

Nice ripoff.

A friend of mine let me borrow his copy. It's an excellent book, but it's not worth 80 bucks.

Nothing's worth $80 except many yards of fabric! :-)

In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

Well, unless you have specific questions, there's not much to say.

The story of the magazine is the story of Bozell and his associates (Wilhelmson and the others).  Bozell was a conservative (ghostwrote Goldwater's book Conscience of a Conservative) who broke with his National Review fellows and went off to found Triumph.

The Wikipedia article looks to be correct and unbiased.  Start there.  That ought to answer most questions on Bozell's political transformation.

Conservatism and the Right often seems to be mainly about enriching wealthy commercial or industrial interests with social issues largely as distractions only weakly pursued. Abortion and homosexuality fall into that pretend conservtive distraction category. Some political leaders have tried to run a supportive attitude to industry in harness with social conservatism. Tony Abbot probably was an example, but can mean a fatally divided attention. It can mean political defeat, like for Abbot, or that the legislative effort is just empheral and vanishes with the next change of government. Big money conservatism is stonger in the West now thanks to the complete cultural victory of the Frankfurt school. This conservatism annexes social liberalism, and regards genuine social conservatives in their ranks as somewhere between annoyances or amusing oddities.

I see Triumph had quite the list of contributors, including Solange Hertz, Dietrich von Hildebrand and Marcel Lefebvre.
Like John Vennari (RIP) said "Why not just do it?  What would it hurt?"

"Tell people that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  Tell them also to pray to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for peace, since God has entrusted it to Her." Saint Jacinta Marto

The real nature of hope is "despair, overcome."

My family (parents) used to get Triumph magazine when I was growing up.  I remember liking it... unfortunately I don't remember more.  Also unfortunately, we didn't keep them.

A lot of help I am!

Hmm, maybe I can help one person:  (as I write this) there is 1 copy of the book for $44.91 on abebooks:

[Matthew 8:26]  And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm.

[Job  38:1-5]  Then the Lord answered Job out of a whirlwind, and said: [2] Who is this that wrappeth up sentences in unskillful words? [3] Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and answer thou me. [4] Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the earth? tell me if thou hast understanding. [5] Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

Jesus, Mary, I love Thee! Save souls!

It is interesting that someone hasn't scanned in all the issues of the magazine by now.  It certainly is influential enough in certain circles.  The interest is out there.

Who would sue on behalf of a dead publication?

Bozell's relatives? The publisher? It's still in copyright. I believe something is still in copyright 78 (or even 100) years after the death of the author/owner.

Meh.   

It's not like theyre selling back issues, or making the content available in other formats (the two aforementioned books notwithstanding).

Yes but I'm sure someone would complain if someone tried to make some money of the publication. It's a shame because I'm sure a decent number of people would be interested in it but thank Disney!

They're the ones who pushed to get copyrights extended. Have to protect Mickey Mouse (and its $$$), you know...  ::)

Oh, sure, make money, that's a different thing.  I assumed they'd be scanned to archive.org.

Likewise, it regards traditionalists as socialists or Marxists since they do not employ "The government is inherently evil" as their major premise for every argument.
