Goldwater

A small book on the Father of Coservative Movement. Lots of new facts presented by one of Goldwaters close friends.

Encomium to Political Giant

I happened to read this encomium to the late Senator Goldwater in the midst of the Presidential election imbroglio. Senator Goldwater's dignity, candor, courage and conviction stand in stark contrast with the crass self-interest of many of today's leaders, and their policy-by-poll approach to governance.Barry Goldwater is one of the most misunderstood leaders of his generation . . . his consistently literal interpretation of the Constitution and unwavering fealty to the Rule of Law caricatured by a press with a penchant for oversimplification, and a viciously cut-throat LBJ political machine (aided by the Rockefeller wing of the GOP). It was only in the twilight of his life that this political giant was accorded the respect he deserves.

Insightful, provocative book on Barry Goldwater

This book is spectacular...it gives an in-depth view into the life of Barry Goldwater, one of the founders of conservatism in America. What an interesting look at his life and accomplishments. Wonderfully written!

Moving, emotion-evoking

I found the book about the late, great Barry Goldwater engrossing and superbly written. I savored (awash in tears) every last page. This is the work of an author with immense talent and sensitivity -- even if the reader wasn't fond of the long-ago Republican presidential candidate, the outspoken senator from Arizona.
