Book Description

In 1960, Barry Goldwater set forth his brief manifesto in The Conscience
of a Conservative. Written at the height of the Cold War and in the wake
of America's greatest experiment with big government, the New Deal,
Goldwater's message was not only remarkable, but radical. He argued for
the value and importance of conservative principles--freedom, foremost
among them--in contemporary political life. Using the principles he
espoused in this concise but powerful book, Goldwater fundamentally
altered the political landscape of his day--and ours.
