Acclaimed historian Rick Perlstein chronicles the rise of the conservative movement in the liberal 1960s. At the heart of the story is Barry Goldwater, the renegade Republican from Arizona who loathed federal government, despised liberals, and mocked "peaceful coexistence" with the USSR. Perlstein's narrative shines a light on a whole world of conservatives and their antagonists, including William F. Buckley, Nelson Rockefeller, and Bill Moyers. Vividly written, Before the Storm is an essential book about the 1960s.

Thoroughly Informative and Chilling
Revisado: 08-07-18
An outstanding beginning to Rick Perlstein’s modern American conservatism saga. You get to hear about all of the details behind the origin of the modern movement that first took off with the Goldwater campaign in 1964. You go behind the scenes to learn about that idiosyncratic, abrasive ideologue and the people who supported him. As you listen, it will become increasingly clear how the story Perlstein tells has ultimately culminated in a Trump presidency which shares many of the core instincts at the heart of the movement - but little of the intellectual foundation.

From one of America's most talented historians and winner of a LA Times Book Prize comes a brilliant new account of Richard Nixon that reveals the riveting backstory to the red state/blue state resentments that divide our nation today. Told with urgency and sharp political insight, Nixonland recaptures America's turbulent 1960s and early 1970s and reveals how Richard Nixon rose from the political grave to seize and hold the presidency.

Nixonland: The Origin of our Cultural Divide
Revisado: 11-14-17
As a political science buff, I had wanted to read more about the development of the modern liberal-conservative divide in our country. In the summer of 2016, I stumbled upon "Nixonland" and I quickly fell under the spell of its rich and detailed recounting of our history. As I heard of Nixon's employment of "Law & Order" rhetoric and his pleas to the "Silent Majority," I had chills as I heard these same echoes in the presidential campaign we all just experienced. Not only was the audiobook spellbinding but the context in which I listened to it absolutely terrified me - but in a good way (sort of). Audible 20 Review Sweepstakes Entry
