"For a man who proudly described himself as 'simple,' Barry Goldwater remains a historical puzzle." ---Angus Burgin, The New York Sun

Former Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater lays out the conservative position both politically and economically that would come to dominate the Conservative Movement in America.

When it was first published, The Conscience of a Conservative reignited the American conservative movement and made Barry Goldwater a political star. It influenced countless conservatives in the United States and helped to lay the foundation for the Reagan Revolution in 1980.

Just as vital today as it was then, this book addresses many topics that could be torn from today's headlines. Goldwater discusses education, labor unions and policies, civil rights, agricultural policy and farm subsidies, social welfare programs, and income taxation. This significant book lays out the conservative position both politically and economically that would come to dominate the Conservative Movement in America.

About the Author: Barry Goldwater (1909–1998) was a five-term U.S. senator from Arizona and the Republican Party's nominee for president in the 1964 election. He is the American politician most often credited for sparking the resurgence of the American conservative political movement in the 1960s.
