"A fine survey of Goldwater's impact on American politics and
society."--California Bookwatch, The Political Science Shelf "This
anthology is important on a national level because it serves to
describe how Goldwater played a vital role in the rise of the
conservative movement in post-WWII America. . . . Political junkies
in Arizona and elsewhere will consider this required
reading."--Journal of Arizona History "Shermer reframes important
controversies such as the relationship between southern and western
conservatism, between religious and business conservatism, and
between elite and grassroots mobilizations on the right."--Bruce J.
Schulman, author of The Seventies: The Great Shift in American
Culture, Society, and Politics
"This book offers valuable scholarship that further cements
Goldwater's central place in the rise of American
conservatism."--CHOICE Reviews "The insightful pieces in this book
offer a vision of the historical specificity of midcentury postwar
conservatism."--The Journal of American History "The essays making
up the chapters are interesting, well researched, and
thought-provoking."--Mary Brennan, author of Wives, Mothers, and
the Red Menace: Conservative Women and the Crusade Against
Communism
