Barry Goldwater

Barry Goldwater is a principled politician in a world where the species seems endangered, a man of profound conviction about government and law, the grand old man of the Grand Old Party, respected as much by those who disagree with him as by those who share his views.

Goldwater is at once a revealing autobiographical essay and an enduring historical document, required reading for anyone who hopes to understand America and American politics of the 20th century.
