A Time for Choosing: The Rise of Modern American Conservatism. de Jonathan M. Schoenwald

A Time for Choosing: The Rise of Modern American Conservatism.

Autor Jonathan M. Schoenwald
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 sep 2001
Dissatisfied with a liberal Republican party, American conservatives in the 1960s engineered a revolution. Mainstream conservatives advocated reform through the development of party and electoral solutions, while extremists looked to private organizations. Though often at odds, the divisions cross-fertilized each other, giving rise to new strategic and tactical strains, and bringing political success by the end of the decade.

Recenzii

The story of the rise of American conservatism has been told often ... but his [Jonathan Schoenwald's] version has a unique focus ... He writes at length on the influence that extremism gained, and the trouble it caused in the house of conservatism during the Cold War
In a nutshell, the Buckley-Welch feud is the story of conservatism - and the story told in Jonathan Schoenwald's admirable narrative ... In this crowded field, he has accomplished a remarkable feat: rooting around the boxes in the conservative attic and recovering some of the more forgotten moments and figures from the movement's past. He's especially strong when describing the far right
The book does ... have considerable merit, because Schoenwald doesn't allow his own liberalism to stand in the way of a reasonable and plausible thesis. He argues that in the 1960s, conservatives gained their foothold in the Republican party- and in the American mainstream- by reining in the fringe groups (such as the John Birch Society) that had defined their movement in the previous decade
Elegantly written and persuasively argued, A Time for Choosing is destined to become a standard work in the study of modern conservatism. It is required reading for anyone wishing to understand the decline of liberalism and the dramatic shift to the right since 1960.
