Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus, by Rick Perlstein. Goldwater was the first modern presidential candidate to run as a conservative. His ideas were resoundingly ridiculed in the press and rejected by the voters in the fall of 1964. Even so, he sparked one of the greatest movements in modern American history. This book is an in-depth account of the 1964 campaign. Analysis and narrative covers back-room deals, political strife, fascinating personalities and the pendulum swings of ideological argument. Highly recommended.
