With a refreshing blend of dignity and humor, wisdom and experience, ideals and optimism, here is Barry Goldwater's story, unvarnished and true, proving there is more to this crusty relic than just... This description may be from another edition of this product.
As with most political memoirs, the charm comes not from great writing but from Goldwater's first-hand perspective on his career. Not all his recollections remain significant, but I found Goldwater's comments about the religious right nearly as relevant today as they were twenty years ago.
A Very Good Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Though I read this book some time ago, I remember it as one of the most interesting political memoirs that I have ever read. Goldwater offers a refreshingly candid look at his long career in public life, as well as his prescriptions for the future of conservatism (it was written back in the late 1980s, but I think that his thoughts on this subject have been on-target). His advocacy of a broad-based conservative movement is the best example of this.
