| "Thirty-five years before he died, when he announced that he would seek the presidency, the scorn was almost universal..." (from the first line) Annotation:
Alfred Regnery had a privileged perspective from which to view firsthand the rise of American conservatism, as he writes in his history of the movement, UPSTREAM. He is the son of the founder of the conservative publishing house that first published Bill Buckley?s GOD AND MAN AT YALE, and which became the very successful Regnery Publishing. Al, the son, delightfully recounts the sometimes heady environment of intellectualism and political action that brought conservatism from a "right-wing faction" to the center of American political life, signaled most triumphantly by Ronald Reagan?s election in 1980. Using anecdotal accounts of things he witnessed and people he knew, along with well as well-researched coverage of the major battles won and lost, Regnery?s comprehensive history is a very readable, gleefully partisan point of view.
