Synopsis:
Returning to the roots of Ronald Reagan's political career, the author retraces the former president's first big victory in California, where he came from nowhere in 1966 to win the governorship.
Review:
"Built on prodigious research in manuscript papers and oral history, grounded in sound judgment and fair-minded assessments, and sustained by a lively, fast-paced narrative full of vivid characters and telling anecdotes, The Right Moment represents political history at its very best."--The Chicago Tribune
"[Dallek] succeeds admirably in tracing the roots of the Reagan phenomenon to the turmoil of the 1960s."--The New York Times Book Review
"What I admire most about The Right Moment...aside from the clear, compelling, page-turning quality of Mr. Dallek's writing, is his ability to weave ideas, personalities, national trends, California political history and Sacramento insider politics into one seamless whole in less than 250 pages of text."--The Washington Times
"Gripping. In the place that brought us Watts riots and the Berkeley Free Speech movement, Mario Savio and Huey P. Newton, Hollywood and holistic health, another 1960s was playing out. Largely dismissed by commentators at the time and ignored by historians afterward, a new conservative order was rising.The story of California [through its] savvy right wing. "--The Washington Post Book World
"A refreshing and well-written book, and it tells a good story. Dallek shows Reagan not as an empty-headed actor memorizing lines, but as an intensely serious right wing ideologue, and a gifted proponent of his views. "--The Washington Monthly
