The Conservative Revolution: The Movement That Remade America

The triumph of the conservative movement in reshaping American politics is one of the great untold stories of the past fifty years. At the end of World War II, hardly anyone in public life would admit to being a conservative, but as Lee Edwards shows in this magisterial work, in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, a small group of committed men and women began to chip away at the liberal colossus, and their descendants would scale the ramparts of power in...

An Excellent Introduction

In "The Conservative Revolution: The Movement That Remade America," author Lee Edwards does an excellent job of guiding readers through the growth of the Conservative movement in America. In his book, he not only illustrates the struggles that conservatives have faced as an opposition movement, he has also shown the struggles that continue to exist even after conservatives have succeeded in gaining power. By tying the conservative...

A great overview

We conservatives like to sermonize about the historical ignorance of the average American, but too many of us are just as ignorant of the history of our own conservative movement. If you're in that category, take an afternoon or two to read Lee Edwards' "The Conservative Revolution."Edwards surveys the high points of the conservative movement, starting with "Mr. Republican" Sen. Robert Taft, through the Gingrich Revolution...

In Depth Introduction to the History of the Movement

As a young conservative I have sought to learn as much history of the movement as possible. I have read stacks and stacks of books on conservative thought and those by the great conservatives. None cover so comprehensively the breadth and depth of the pivotal role of each of the four men about whom Edwards writes. Senators Taft and Goldwater, President Reagan and former Speaker Gingrich are the giants on whose shoulders...

In the sixties, it was the conservatives that finally took the Republican Party away from the "me-too" liberal Republicans, and at the same time wrote the John Birch...

A Brilliant Chronicle of the Rise of Conservatism

Lee Edwards' book is a brilliant, informative, and educational chronicle of the rise of American conservatism over the past 50 years. He deftly examines the liberal excesses that led to the increasing acceptance of right-of-center ideas. The book is most effective in its analysis of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, although a bit more could be written about Newt Gingrich and post-Reagan conservative figures. But overall,...
