Book Reviews of Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus

Book Review: A fantastic book
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm one of the lucky ones with a first edition hardback copy of this book. I cannot recommend this book too highly. It's extremely readable; this is not some dusty political tract. It is a terrific account of GOP politics in the 1960s. It introduced me to political writing and a great many other great books, not least of all his latest work 'Nixonland'. To use a dreadful cliche 'Before The Storm' is a must read.
