Tells the story of the rise of the conservative movement in the liberal 1960s. The figure at the heart of the story is Barry Goldwater, the handsome renegade Republican from Arizona who loathed the federal government, despised liberals on sight, and mocked "peaceful coexistence" with the USSR. Perlstein's narrative also examines the whole world of conservatives and their antagonists during the 1960s, including William F. Buckley, Nelson Rockefeller, and Bill Moyers.
