(Barry Morris), 1909-1998 United States - Congress - Senate Class number: 973.9 Abstract: Barry Goldwater is widely regarded as one of the most prominent and controversial politicians of our century, a man whose influence on America conservatism led President Ronald Reagan to honor him with the title "Mr. Conservative" when he retired after thirty years in the Senate. A populist from Arizona, Goldwater helped change the Republican Party both ideologically and geographically and planted the seeds of the New Right. Goldberg describes Goldwater's youth, family, and early business enterprises, showing how he both shaped and was shaped by the increasingly sophisticated American Southwest. He tells us about Goldwater's political career and its aftermath, giving insight into his opposition to the senatorial censure of Joseph McCarthy; his 1964 presidential campaign; his role in such political turning points as Watergate and Reagan policy in Nicaragua; his life-long interest in the military, which culminated in the passage of the Goldwater Military Reorganization Act during his last year in the Senate; and his attack on the religious right in the Republican Party.

Title : The essential neoconservative reader Material Type: printed text Authors: Mark Gerson, Editor Publisher: Boston, Mass : Addison-Wesley Publication Date: 1996 Pagination: xvii; 467 p. Size: 24 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-201-47968-3 General note: Include bibliographical references (p. 447-449) Includes index (p. 451-467) Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Conservatism - United States Class number: 320.5 Abstract: he Essential Neoconservative Reader captures the drama and historical importance of conservationism's rise from 1965 to the present, by collecting influential essays by its most noted figures - among them Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, Nathan Glazer, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Gertrude Himmelfarb, and James Q. Wilson. The word "neoconservative" was first used as a term of derision for disgruntled ex-liberals of the 1960s. Perhaps because of this, there has never been a central credo or organization unifying conservationism as a movement. With this collection, however, conservationism is cast in a new light, portrayed as a comprehensive outlook on economics, politics, society, and culture linked by common principles and a distinctive vision.
