In this, the first book to deal exclusively with conservative
politics in California, author Kurt Schuparra pinpoints the myriad
factors that led to the formation and rise of the conservative
movement in California after World War II, culminating in the
election of Ronald Reagan as governor in 1966. While Schuparra is
concerned with prominent figures such as Ronald Reagan, California
senator William Knowland, Richard Nixon, and Arizona senator Barry
Goldwater, his larger interest is in the principal players in the
movement behind these individuals, the causes they espoused, and
the movement's role in pivotal electoral contests. Schuparra also
provides an assessment of how the struggle between liberals and
conservatives - and those caught in the middle - in the Golden
State both reflected and influenced the national debate over major
governmental policies and social issues, particularly on racial
matters.
