Turning Right in the Sixties
Synopsis
Mary Brennan examines how conservative Americans, feeling marginalized in the 1960s, united to reshape the Republican Party. This book details their grassroots efforts, the rise of figures like Barry Goldwater, and how they ultimately seized control from moderates. It reveals how these foundational strategies paved the way for future conservative victories, including Richard Nixon's 1968 nomination and Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidency.
