Description

In the early 1960s, American conservatives seemed to have fallen on hard times. McCarthyism was on the run, and movements on the political left were grabbing headlines. Yet in Orange County, California, thousands of middle-class suburbanites proceeded to organize a powerful conservative movement that would land Ronald Reagan in the White House and redefine the spectrum of acceptable politics into the next century. In Suburban Warriors, Lisa McGirr broadens - and often upsets - our understanding of the deep and tenacious roots of popular conservatism in America. --Back cover.
