Right Face: Organizing the American Conservative Movement, 1945
Conservatives in the United States were largely politically isolated in the wake of the depression and the New Deal. Bjerre-Poulsen (American Studies, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark) describes how the conservative movement reacted to this isolation organizationally, establishing a loose network of national and local organizations designed to regain control of the Republican Party and use it as a tool to promote their ideological vision. The narrative proceeds from the 1940s to the watershed campaign of Barry Goldwater for president, considered here to be the movement's "baptism of fire." An epilogue briefly treats developments since the defeat of Goldwater. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
