It took me a while to get started on this book, but once I got started, I found it to be quite engaging. While the author is a political conservative, the book isn't so much about selling you on the logic of the conservative viewpoint as much as discussing the timeline and history of the development of the conservative movement in U.S. politics. He discusses the major movers and shakers, as well as the more significant historical events which ended up shaping the movement and bringing it to where it is today. ( )
