In this history of the "other Sixties," Gregory L. Schneider
traces the influence of Young Americans for Freedom, a conservative
political group that locked horns with the New Left and spawned
many of the major players in the contemporary conservative
movement, from the Goldwater campaign in 1964 to Reagan's
revolution in the 1980s.
Cadres for Conservatism reveals how young political
conservatives, unlike their leftist counterparts, avoided fracture
in the wake of the Sixties. Rather, YAF continued to serve as a
seedbed for future conservative leaders, many of whom drew on the
contacts and (counter-)activism of their youth to consolidate
conservative power.
Schneider's talent for trenchant archival research is
supplemented by a plethora of detailed interviews with virtually
every past national chairman and executive director of the YAF, as
well as important sponsors such as William F. Buckley, William
Rusher, and M. Stanton Evans.
