Reviews
“Taken as a complete body of work, this book presents a political figure who is very knowledgeable and thoughtful, not the caricature of a rash, trigger happy, crack pot as he was portrayed by his political opponents at the time and continues to tarnish his reputation today. This book helps to create a more accurate portrayal of this important and obviously thoughtful man.” – Prof. William C. Binning, Youngstown State University
“The book fills a real need for libraries, historians, and the general public. With a helpful bibliography, this volume offers an understanding of Goldwater in particular and conservatism in general as it manifested itself in the politics and issues of his lifetime.” -- Prof. Donald K. Pickens, University of North Texas
“[A] wealth of biographical and political primary source material along with contrasting political ideologies of tthe times make this volume a valuable resource for political research.” – Ms. Pam Gassler, Librarian, Mesa Community College
