Review:

"Goldwater's conservatism is not isolationism, nor is it a cold-blooded commitment to the 'haves' as against the 'have-nots.' It is the creed of a fighter who has both a warm heart and a clear mind." -- John Chamberlain

"There is more harsh fact and hard sense in this slight book than will emerge from all of the chatter of this year's session of Congress.... Sen. Goldwater is one of a handful of authentic conservatives.... �H�e has the clarity of courage and the courage of clarity." -- George Morgenstern

The book lays out, clearly and succinctly, [Goldwater's] uncompromising views. Goldwater held freedom as the highest value in American society: freedom from law, freedom from government, freedom from anybody else's vision but your own. You can argue with him on the particulars, but there's something compelling about his quintessentially American notion of self-reliance.--David Ulin "Los Angeles Times "

The new "Conscience of a Conservative" takes what might be called the 'anti-fusionist' side in the Goldwater wars..."The Conscience of a Conservative" continues to be read today because it isn't a political tract, a soulless campaign book of the sort generated by every other modern presidential effort.--Daniel McCarthy "The American Conservative "

It is good that C.C. Goldwater brings us this new edition. It directs new attention to a political figure who, though fiery, was never mean-spirited or unfairly partisan.--Max J. Skidmore "European Legacy "
