Description: Very Good. Size: 8.3 x 5.6 x 1.3 inches; In the 1964 presidential campaign, LBJ ate Barry Goldwater for lunch and thereby, according to the pundits, stuck a fork in the heart of American conservatism. But Goldwater's politics were vindicated, Perlstein argues, by subsequent elections, especially Reagan's in 1980, and his tenets are championed today on both sides of the aisle. Perhaps. What's more important about Perlstein's argument is its subtext. By casting the senator as the long-term ... read more

"Everything one wants in a history book: an important, interesting story, told with verve and humor. Highly recommended to anyone interested in American political history.
A favorite passage: "Then Ronald Reagan spoke. He was just as angry. But he made you want to stand right alongside him and shake your fist at the same things he was shaking his fist at. It was hard to remember exactly what they were. Clearly they were the enemy of all decent men.""
"Republicans had opposed New Deal programs from the start but by the 1950s many had accepted them as permanent fixtures on the American political landscape. Social Security, labor unions, federal regulation of banking, progressive taxation, and many others had become, in the words of Rick Perlstein "the American consensus". At least Republicans like Dwight Eisenhower and Nelson Rockefeller seemed to think so. Barry Goldwater and the emerging conservative movement had other ideas.
Perlstein seems to have read every speech, letter, memoir, news item, and magazine from that era and compiles it into an amazing look back at an era many of us think of as dominated by hippies and left-wing radicals. Perlstein shows that the far right was putting together a far more influential political movement."
"Well-written historical account that helps to explain how the right wing of the Republican Party rose to power after its decimation in 1964. Provides a glimpse of the development of the conservative movement in many of its facets from a social historical perspective -- people meeting in their living rooms, grassroots efforts, etc. If you want to understand the shift from the liberal consensus of the middle of the twentieth century to the ascendancy of conservative dominance, read this book."
